stating that "Message could not be set. Media is write protected." How do I correct? Fax was working fine in November 2007. I am using Vista Ultimate. |

Windows Fax
My Procedure
1. Develop document in MS Word 2007 2. Go To Office drop down menu and select print 3. In print dialogue box, select "fax" 4. Click "OK" 5. "New Fax" window of Windows Fax appears with attachment indicated. 6. Insert phone number in the "to:" slot 7. Verify that attachment is correct by clicking on view and then on preview. Error message occurs whether or not I ust this step to preview the message. 8. Attachment is correct - verified. 9. Click on send. 10. Error message pop-ups stating that "message could not be sent. Media is write protected. 11. Close program. This procedure has worked for over six months prior to my last fax of November 18. I suspect that either I accidently changed a setting maybe by loading a new program or that there was a Microsoft update in the past two months that could have changed a setting. I have seen this problem on the net using Google search, but I have been unable to find a solution. Please provide some suggestions. Thank you.

The message means that you have included something in your document that
neither Word nor the Fax Service can render. Only you would know what that might be. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Sun City Vince" wrote in message ... My Procedure 1.
