Faxing a mail merge document

[Guest]

Hello. My customer data base is on an excel document and I usually create a
word document, do a mail merge and manually fax out the sheets. I have a
large volume of faxes each month and would like to be able to fax from my
computer. The big thing for me is to be able to merge a fax program with the
excel document so the info is just inserted. Anyone know how to accomplish
this?
Any help greatly appreciated.
Thanks

This is completely dependent on which fax software you are using, which you
failed to mention.

I guess my omisison of the fax program comes from my lack of knowledge of
this subject. Which I also failed to mention. I guess my question should
have read:
"Can I fax through the fax console in XP? Can I merge it with an excel
document?
If I can't fax through XP can anyone suggest a fax program? Does anyone
know how to accomplish this? Including do I need an independant fax program.
Thanks
