Default Fax Number in "To" Field

I don't know if their service works or not, but they claim that it does as I
previously described without installing an integration module. See the
tutorial at http://www.myfax.com/support.asp

Please explain in outlook how can we set the Display As field to show the
fax number?

Won't work. You cannot use Outlook with an Internet Fax Service unless that
service has been specifically designed to work with Outlook. You would have
to select one that has been so designed and install their integration
module. You'll find the ones that are by going to File New Internet Fax
in Outlook.

I am considering using a web based fax service. In order to send a fax they
want me to type the fax number in the To: field and add their domain name.
I
figured that if I could get outlook to add the fax number for me, then I
could save keystrokes. I am unable to find any info in the help file on
how
to display the fax number. Could you please point the way?

You can if you think you need to. You can set the Display As field for
any
electronic address to whatever you want. It serves no purpose to do so.

Can I configure Outlook 2007 to insert the actual fax number in the
"To:"
field of a new message to contact when I click the "To:" button and
select
the contact's fax "display name" in the "Select Names: Contacts"
window?
By
default outlook now populates the To: field with the contacts name
followed
by (Business Fax).
