Fax Looses Application sheet

[Guest]

I have installed the XP Fax program. When I send a Fax from Excel or any other MS application and include a cover sheet all that gets sent is one or two cover sheets with a slightly offset time stamp. When I check the Preview Fax before sending the fax, the App sheet and cover sheet is displayed but when the fax is sent the fax file in the Outbox only contains the cover sheets. The properties for the fax file in the Outbox shows 2 sheets, the correct Byte size and the correct name of the App document. If I do not send a cover sheet by removing the check mark next to "Select a cover sheet template" then the sheet from the application is sent. I have two separate computers running XP and they both do the same thing.

I Solved my problem. There was no problem. I was fooled
by the Windows Picture and Fax Viewer I was using to view
the fax tif file and the Fax Preview. The Viewer has two
change image controls, Left Arrow, Right Arrow, Page Up
and Page Down. Viewing a multiple sheet fax tif file in
the Fax Console, the Up and Down page must be used. In the
Preview Fax view the Left and Right Arrow must be used. I
was using the Left and Right Arrow to View the fax tif
files.

Which program are you using to preview the fax file in the outbox? If it is
not Microsoft Picture and Fax Viewer (used by default), you might just not
be able to see the otehr pages i.e the application sheet and the cover page
are both being sent, but due to inablility of some applications like Paint
to display the multipage tiff file you are seeing just the first page.
You can set the default viewer of Tiff Files to Microsoft Picture and Fax
Viewer by changing the file assocations appropriately. (Tools -> Folder
Options ->File Types in explorer).
