MailMerge fax not e-mail?
Hi all, new to Win7 and Office '07, and the site, and need a bit of help!
Is it possble to fax multiple recipients, instead of e-mailing them, from Word using mail merge? After finishing the merge to print I select the fax driver and have an option to import but the drop down box shows no option for Outlook, only Outlook Express. I can create a .csv from Outlook and use that, but that's not what I bought Office HS and Outlook for... Do I need a third party fax application for this? |

I can add I've read the outlook "Create and distribute merged faxes" help for 2003 and it's described there, but for me the merge to fax function is missing.
I have only "Finish & Merge" ->Print Documents ->(merge to printer) ->Print, from where I select fax driver ->new fax and the "to" field is empty. Contacts ->import contacts is limited to wab, csv, vcf, ldif. So, no merge to fax with Office '07 and Outlook as there was with '03? |

I think you need a third-part fax application and a phone line to your computer.
Be wary of the anti-fax laws for marketing pieces. If you fax someone without an existing business relationship or explicit permission, it's a $500 fine per fax. The tricky thing is that the lawyer going after you gets to keep the fine, not the government. That puts some real teeth in the enforcement! |

No worries, I'm not a spammer. Also Linux has it covered, although the ability to import .pst is not built in it can be done. If anyone else is looking for an answer search for libpst, a Debian based Linux would be the most straightforward. Once I'm all done I may post back more info. |
