Default Vista fax options

Make sure you've have the Outlook Address Book service installed and you've
set the Contacts folder to show as an e-mail Address Book:

"Show this folder as an e-mail Address Book" check box is dimmed in Outlook
Contact folder properties

Hola
Please told the details!
What ever I do I always get the Outlook Address book, that is empty.
I can't get the several Contacts lists I have in Outlook.

On item 3, you want 'Default Programs|Set default programs' and set

Outlook
to be the default and make sure it has all its defaults.

You got it backwards from everyone else. WFS is the first

improvement

fax module in decades.

Thanks. I have Office 2007. Had never previously encountered MODI,
but I did find it. Is it possible to make this the default fax

viewer?


MODI does not show up when I try "open with" on a multipage .tif.
Photoshop CS3, Office Picture Manager, Paint, PictureViewer, & Windows
Photo Gallery are the only options showing.

Where are the .tif files for Sent faxes stored (I can see the InBox)?
They do not appear to be under "...\Documents\Fax\. Or do I first

have
to save the fax to a tif file? If so, not really any advantage over
using pdf.

###

re Item 3. "Default Options" = "Default Programs"? Don't see

"Default
Options" in Control Panel. And I don't see "Contacts Manager" in
"Default Programs" - just the option to set the program association

for
the ".contact" extension. I set Office to be the default for

everything
it could, but I still do not see it in WFS.

Is 32bit Office / 64bit Vista an issue?

###

re. your last comment. I realise there are some collaboration

features
in there, but they are of no use to me (work from home). Access the

fax
service on my desktop from other PC's on the home network would have
been nice (esp my laptop), but that does not seem to work. Not a big
deal. The removal of features previously there (easy to save single
page, etc) have, however, made the fax sw more difficult for me.

We use Aloaha FAX Suite (www.aloaha.com) and are pretty happy with that!

Vista Bus x64 / Office Pro 2007

Can anyone advise if & how to do the following that were simple to do
in XP fax:

1. Save a single page of a multipage fax as an image (.png, gif, tif,
jpg whatever)? Easy to save as a multipage .tif, but most sw opens only
the first page. I regularly need to save the 3rd page (which is an
invoice) of a 3 page fax; ie. I want an image of just the invoice (pref
png or gif). Was easy to do in XP.

2. Change the fax resolution (eg. faxing a Word doc - mainly text).
Seem to have no option to select the fax resolution & quality seems
worse than XP (I used 200x200).

3. I cannot get Outlook contacts to show up in the Fax & Scan utility.
Just Windows Contacts (which I do not use).

Any help appreciated
