Default Address book not showing up in fax

I've done that and it still doesn't work. In Control Panel, programs, then
Contact List, it's set for Address Book. I have the same problem, Start in
Word, then Print, change to Fax, Fax Wizard comes up. I click on Address Book
from within Fax Wizard, the Address Book shows up, but there are no names
listed.

I think this needs a "Troubleshooting" solution, not a "Setup" solution. It
was set up correctly last month and was working. Now it's not working. Is
there a Preference File I can delete or change something in RegEdit to force
it to "reset" or even remove and reinstall the faxing feature?

Thank you,
Bill

Simple. Tell your OS to use the Windows Address Book as its default instead
of Outlook in Control Panel Internet Options.

The program is Windows XP Fax.

I want my fax software to use my Windows Address Book. The names and fax
numbers are already there. I don't need Outlook on this computer.

Thank you,
Bill

You failed to specify your fax software. Read it's Help files. Discover
which address book it integrates with and how to specify that choice.
Clearly you have your Contacts in the Windows Address Book, not Outlook.
If
you want your fax software to use your Outlook Contacts, then you better
have some Outlook Contacts. And don't ever use a Personal Address Book.

Thanks for your response.

It's actually the FAXING program that i want to be able to access the
FAX
phone numbers that are already entered in the address book.

The Fax Wizard comes up, and then I click on Address Book from WITHIN
the
Faxing program. That's where the names and fax numbers are not showing
up.

Thank you,
Bill

I have a computer set up as a fax server, to be used for faxing only.

I have the address book set up. When I choose Address Book, under
start
menu, all 100 names show up. On the left side, main identity
contacts
folder,
is selected.

The Windows Address Book and Outlook's Contacts folders aren't the
same
thing.

I want to send a fax. I go to Word, write the letter, choose Print,
change
it to FAX, click OK. Send fax wizard comes up.

When I click on Address Book, it comes up, but the existing
names/numbers
do
not show up. Under “Show names from” it has Personal Address Book
and
Contacts, but both show no names.

Enter your contacts into Outlook's Contacts folder is you want Word to
be
able to access the addresses.
