Hello
I am running Windows XP with Office 2000. I don't know how to send a fax through Outlook. I have a Cable Modem as well as a fax modem. Can someone please help me

Thank you
Debra
 
You left out too much information to provide an answer. We would need to
know your mail support mode and the fax software you intend to use.
Start here. Post back if you can't figure it out after reading it:

I was not sure what information would be needed. Could you please explain what my "mail support mode" is? As far as faxes, I currently send faxes through an all-in-one HP machine. Please let me know what other information is needed

Thank you for all of your help

It's all explained on that page.
Outlook does not integrate with third party software like your all in one
fax machine. Your choices of fax software are listed there.
You'll find your mail support mode in Outlook's Help | About, line 2

Thank you for all of that help. I think I have the fax installed. Now how do I design a fax cover sheet? Is there a way to use the one I already designed in Word

Thank you

It's impossible to answer without knowing your Fax software, Outlook and
Word versions. Most of the endless permutations are covered in the pages I
referenced.

That combination will limit your options somewhat, since Word 2000 does not
recognize the Windows XP Fax Service. That limitation will prevent you from
using the built in Word Fax Cover pages.

However, the built in Windows XP Fax Cover pages will be available to you,
including any custom cover pages you create in its Cover Page editor. If you
created your custom Word cover page as a merge document, it should be
available to you as well.
