When I FAX using Microsoft FAX in Windows XP, only one sheet of the
spreadsheet goes to FAX. There are 3 sheets in the workbook but only the
first one goes to the FAX. What can I do to FAX all 3 sheets at once? There
are exceptions, but we cannot find the difference between those that send
all 3 sheets and those that send only the first sheet. We FAX Excel
spreadsheets to hundreds of customers. Thanks for your help - Aidan

I've encountered this behavior myself. In the print dialogue
(control-P) be sure to tick "Entire workbook" in "Print
what" at the lower left. (I wish there were some way to make
this the default.) Even if this option is selected however,
I think I've had cases of Excel not faxing all the sheets in
the workbook too.
 
Aidan,

You're using File - Print, and selecting the fax printer, I presume. Down
lower in the Pring dialog, select "Entire workbook." Or you can have
selected the worksheets you want to fax, then use "Active sheet(s)." I've
not used the Microsoft fax printer, but I think it works that way with the
fax software I've used.
 
Bob and Earl - My thanks to both of you for your help! I must have something
misconfigured because I select the entire workbook and some documents FAX in
their entirety and some don't. Thanks again - Aidan
 
Aidan,

One possibility is a Print Range set up (File - Page setup - Sheet tab). If
there's anything there, it will print only what's indicated on that sheet.

See if the documents that won't fax in their entirety will print preview in
their entirety. That'll rule out an Excel setting.
