Default Faxing in Outlook 2007 through Windows Fax and Scan

Hello:
This topic is of great help.
Can I link a fax to a contact's activities? I have Outlook 2007 with BCM.
I would like to link the fax sent to the account/contact details. Also, it
would be nice if I can use Word as the Fax Editor.
Are these functionalities available in Vista\Office 2007?

OK, got it going. Works NICE.... The one thing you forgot to mention was to
start Outlook 2007 in administrator mode to get the "Fax Mail Transport"
email going. Searched for "Fax Mail Transport" on the Web and pieced what
you were saying and other web sites.

Much appreciation. Thanks again for your responses and insite.

Happy Holidays....

The Fax service is Windows Fax and Scan, which you should already have with
Vista Ultimate. Outlook set itself up as the default contact manager for
WF&S when you installed it. To add the Fax Mail Transport to Outlook,
'Tools|Account Settings|Email tab|New|Other|Fax Mail Transport'.

Hello Hal,

I think I have to expain it a little better. I understand the "To:" field
that has my Outlook contacts. From there I can select a fax recipient.
Do I
need to set up a fax service? I don't think I want to go this root...
added
expense.

I'm a little confused with start a new message and select the "Fax Mail
Transport" as the account to use to deliver it." Do you set that up a new
email account? I know how set up a new email account in Outlook, but I am
a
little confused on the settings to select.

I have an internal modem and wanted to do the faxing.

Thanks

Yes. I have Office/Outlook 2007 running on Vista Ultimate and clicking
the
To: field on a new Fax message shows me Outlook contacts. I can also
start
a new email message and select the "Fax Mail Transport" as the account to
use to deliver it.
