  quick start guide: sending and receiving faxes
with microsoft® office 2003
 
   
 
 
Sending Faxes
You can send faxes from most Office 2003 applications by simply going to the “File” menu, selecting “Send to” and then “Recipient using Internet Fax Service”. This will bring up a special fax send screen in Microsoft Outlook
 
 
  This Outlook send screen allows you to select a coversheet and address your fax. You can select entries from your Outlook Address book and send a single fax to multiple recipients. Microsoft Outlook 2003 already provides ready to use cover sheets and you can also create your own in MS Word.

In addition to regular Office files, you can also attach other document files for faxing such as PDF files. If you attach a PDF file, Outlook will warn you that your service provider might not be able to send that file. Venali does support PDF and a variety of other file formats which you can attach to any fax you choose to send.
After delivery of your faxes, you will receive a fax confirmation in your e-mail inbox.
   
Receiving Faxes
If you have subscribed to a Venali inbound number, you will receive faxes sent to this number as an e-mail in your Microsoft Outlook 2003 client.
   
To open a fax for further processing, simply double-click on the thumbnail image of the fax which will open the Microsoft Office Document Imaging Viewer where you can easily print, annotate or forward your fax. You can also convert your received fax into editable text by using the OCR (Optical Character Recognition) feature in your Microsoft Office Fax viewer and copy that text into any application such as Microsoft Word or Microsoft Publisher.
