Where is the fax program

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.print_fax (More info?)

I just got a new computer with Windows XP Home on it and a trial (2 months)
of MS Office Student and Teacher. I can fax with this setup by writing in
Word or incorporating a scan into a Word document and then
File>send>recipient using a fax modem.

I will likely uninstall the Office version (I don't want to spend the money
for it) and install Office 97 Professional Edition or Office 2000
professional edition. Will I still be able to fax?? I guess the question
is whether the fax capabilities are built into the word processor or into
XP. Despite having similar options in my Windows 98, when I told Word 97 to
send to a fax recipient I always got an answer that there was no fax program
installed.

Thanks

Chet

It is in Windows. Control Panel, Add or Remove Programs, on the left pane, Add/Remove
Windows Components, tick Fax Services.

Therefore, regardless of what version of Office I run, I will still be able
to send faxes from Word, as long as I am using Windows XP???

Thanks

You may or may not be able to do so. Remember, Windows XP (and the XP fax
service) is much more recent than either Office 97 or 2000. You may not
have the "Send to Fax Recipient" option or it may not work with earlier
versions of Office. If either Office system shows the Fax printer as an
available printer, you should still be able to send faxes by printing your
Word document to it; again, no guarantees for Office earlier than 2002.
