ARTICLE-ID: Q161631 TITLE : WD97: How to Reset Word 97 MRU Lists MORE INFORMATIONThe Fax Wizard helps you create a cover sheet and fax a document to someone. You can use the Fax Wizard to send a fax, to mail merge to a fax, or to print a cover sheet to send from a fax machine. In the Fax Wizard, there is an opportunity to enter the recipients names and their fax numbers. The Fax Wizard creates a Word document with a table containing these names and numbers for use during the fax process. Each time the Fax Wizard is run, a new file is created. Each of these files are approximately 20 kilobytes (KB) in size. Once the process is complete, Word does not remove these files from your computer or reuse the information from the file in the Fax Wizard. There is no way to prevent the Fax Wizard from creating these files, or to have the Fax Wizard delete the file when it has finished. You will have to manually search for and delete these files from your computer. Note: Deleting these files will not remove them from the MRU list. The documents are named similar to other temporary files created by Windows programs and are stored in the Temp folder. The Temp folder in Windows 95 is usually C:\Windows\Temp, but may be different on your computer. You may want to check the Autoexec.bat file, if one exists, for the location of the Temp folder. You may want to delete these files from your computer periodically by using the following steps: To Remove Temporary Files
