Default Address book not showing up in fax

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.
