FAX in Vista Home Premium
Will some form of FAXing and scanning be available in the Home Premium
edition or only in the business edition. I have need for both of these features but do not want the business edition. Maybe they are available in the Office 2007 standard suite? Thanks in advance. Bob. |

FAX in Vista Home Premium
Fax facility is only available in Vista Business, Enterprise and Ultimate.
Word 2007 provides plenty of fax cover templates but still relies, as far as i know, on the fax software of Vista Business, Enterprise and Ultimate. It doesn't contain a fax application on its own. -- John Barnett MVP Associate Expert Windows Shell/User Web: http://xphelpandsupport.mvps.org Web: http://vistasupport.mvps.org The information in this mail/post is supplied "as is".

Thanks John. Do you suppose it might be available as a separate download
sometime for the other versions of Vista? "John Barnett MVP" wrote in message ... Fax facility is only available in Vista Business, Enterprise and Ultimate.

It's doubtful, Microsoft, as far as i know, haven't supplied the fax
software as a separate item for other versions of Windows operating systems. You may have to look at third party fax applications for this one. Alternatively you would have to look to buying Vista Business or Ultimate instead of Premium. -- John Barnett MVP Associate Expert Windows Shell/User Web: http://xphelpandsupport.mvps.org Web: http://vistasupport.mvps.org The information in this mail/post is supplied "as is".

FAX in Vista Home Premium
You have got to be kidding. I have vista home premium but I still need to
send and receive faxes!!!! I had this capability with XP, and I am very upset that it is not available with Vista which I just installed yesterday Feb 3. Does Microsoft believe that home users never receive or send faxes? What are my options? How am I to view the faxes I have saved in my documents? I urgently need to have this capability on my computer and I am sure I am not alone in this need.

FAX in Vista Home Premium
Normally when making a purchase one looks at the features needed and
purchases the appropriate version to meet one's needs. This information is all well documented. You can still view your old faxes quite readily. TIF files open in Windows Photo Gallery. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Susan" wrote in message ... You have got to be kidding.

I agree with Susan. I need Microsoft Fax. I can't believe MS left it out of
Home Premium. Total BS. As for the Know It All, why post your smart a$$ remarks on here? |
