Fax Viewer: Not found on Vista or Office 2007

[Guest]

In Windows XP and Office 2003 Viewing and Editing Faxes were much easier with
the Fax Image Viewer (or something similarly named). Where in Vista and/or
Office 2007 can I view faxes by each page, delete specific pages, merge faxes
together, move pages around in different order and resave in TIFF format?

I have tried to find this functionality with the Windows Photo Gallery,
Office Picture Manager, Digital Image Suite and Paint, but have been
unsuccessful. I would like an application that will specifically view and
edit faxes. Where did this go???!!!!

Thanks,
Brian

Brian ... Windows Vista Business, Enterprise and Ultimate editions have fax
and scan built-in.

In Ultimate, I found it listed under Programs ... it is wfs.exe in the
System32 folder.

If you have one of these versions but can't find it, go in to Control
Panel --> Programs and Features --> and then look in the left pane for
Windows Features turning on or off or something like that and you should
find it in there and be able to enable it if it was not enabled by default.

If you have one of the Homes ... I am sorry ... don't remember if it was in
my Home Premium install. I upgraded to Ultimate so fast I didn't get to look
around too much.

good luck ... vanilla ...

If you have a version of Vista that has the fax module AND you have Office
2007, you can use Microsoft Office Document Imaging; MODI can import fax
pages (.TIF) files, combine them, edit them, re-order them, and save them
back as a multipage .TIF files.

I upgraded Windows XP Home to Vista Home and with disappoint I discovered the
absence of the fax service. I use currently a third-party software ($40
value) to obtain anew the service in Vista Home environment. Only
entrepreneurs use faxing service?

....it's gone. Try Snappy Fax (www.snappyfax.com). I just downloaded it and
it works better than the WinFax Pro program I was using with XP.
