WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, use one of the following methods that best suits your needs:
Method 1: Turn Off the Fax Cover Sheet Option in the Fax Wizard
This produces a single item to fax from the Fax Wizard. Your fax software then provides the only cover sheet; however, your fax software may still prompt for the recipient's fax number.
- To start the Fax Wizard:
- On the File menu, point to Send To, and then click Fax Recipient.
-or-
- Click New on the File menu, click the Letters & Faxes tab, and double-click the Fax Wizard.
- When you are in the Fax Wizard and see the following prompt: Which document do you want to send?, select the Without a cover sheet check box.
- Complete the remaining steps in the Fax Wizard.
Method 2: Print with Your Fax Software Instead of the Word Fax Wizard
This method produces a single item to fax and requires the recipient's information only once in the process:
- Open or create a document to send to a recipient in Word.
- On the File menu, click Print.
- Change the printer Name box to your fax software printer driver, and click OK to print.
- When a new Untitled - Fax (Plain Text) or similar message appears, select a contact from the Address Book for the To box, or type a recipient's fax number using the following syntax:
FAX@#####
where ##### is the fax phone number of the recipient.
- Click Send to begin sending the fax.
