Fax Address Book

[David E. Ross]

I'm using the Fax application that came with Windows XP Home Edition
SP2. How do I delete an obsolete entry in the address book? Can I
rename an entry? (After all, not only do contact individuals but even
the names of their companies change.) Is there a way to maintain the
address book without being in the process of trying to send a fax?

"The Windows XP Fax service uses the Windows Address Book (WAB) as its
default address book for fax numbers. When you install Outlook 2000 or
Outlook 2002, the fax service switches to the Outlook Address Book (OAB)
as its source for fax addresses. So you don't need to maintain two
address books—just one will do."

So, depending on which address book you're using, edit it in Outlook or
Start > All Programs > Accessories > Address Book

Got it! Thanks.
