Fax from outlook without a contact record
Hi,
Is there a way to type in a fax number directly into the address section of an email (ie not having to create a business fax record in outlook contacts). I seem to recall in earlier versions you could type: fax:888-8888-8888 and it would send that fax (which was great for mail merge) but it doesn't seem to work with windows xp and office/outlook 2007- unless i am missing something - which does happen sometimes. Thanks heaps

Surround fax:888-8888-8888 with brackets [fax:888-8888-8888] and see if it

Fax from outlook without a contact record
Thanks Guys, That worked a treat. Further more I use it in an access data
base (create a formula to add the "fax:" and brackets to the number) that choses between email and fax numbers and then I can merge through outlook to emails and faxes at the same time. BTW All these feed from business contact manager in outlook with my own custom fields. With a bit of effort you can do some great stuff with outlook, BCM and access. Thanks again!
