Another Fax question

[Leonid Kizelshteyn]

Hi, All;
Problem: send 100+ personalized letters to customers using fax
Tools: Winword2002, Windows2000 computer with Conexant Soft56 PCI modem
Software tried: WinFax Pro 10.0, Microsoft Fax and other software
recommended by Microsoft...

Problems:
1. No matter what I did, mail merge wizard creates one big document instead
of 100+
2. Faxing wizard tries to send fax (if I forced it to work) to one number
3. Button "Merge to Fax" on Mail Merge toolbar in Word ALWAYS dimmed (even
after uninstall/install cycle)


Mail merge works, this is not a problem. How to send customized letters to
different fax recipients?
Internet faxing is out of the picture - some customers do not have access to
Web or it is prohibited by nature of business....

Any ideas?

Any help will be gladly appreciated... Thanks!

Leonid

is the body of your document the same and only the "who"
different? if so, how about trying these options:

option 1. in winfax, modify the fax header to state
recipient's name and company and whatever else. add your
recipient to your contacts list. create a general
document in word then print to winfax, select your
recipients. each recipient would have the same document,
but the transmittal at the top of their page would read
only their info in the recipient info of the banner.

option 2. in winfax, create your document in cover page
option as a cover page. use the fields of recipents
name, etc. close cover page window. select send new
fax, select your created cover page, select your
recipients.
