Sending a Fax from Word

Microsoft Word 2003 gives you two options for faxing documents. You can fax using your own fax modem, with either the fax software built into Windows or your own third-party software, such as WinFax Pro.

Alternatively, if you don't have a fax modem (or prefer not to use it), you can use an Internet-based fax service. With an Internet-based fax service, you email your file to a service provider via Microsoft Outlook. The Internet fax service handles the faxing on your behalf and charges you based on either a monthly subscription or per-page rate.

The following sections cover both.
