I bought WinFax Pro 10.03 in order to do Mail Merge to Fax, using
selected contacts in my Outlook Database.  I loaded the two macros
that were availble for MS Word and Excel in WinFax Pro.  However, I
was wondering if any of you have used this and did it work?

I installed the Word and Excel Macros from WinFax Pro.

So now I started the test process by going to Mail Merge in Tool of MS
Outlook 2002.  When I opened the Mail Merge Box the options in the
drop down boxes on the bottom were:

Document Type                                              Merge to
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Form Letter                                              New Document
Mailing Labels                                       Printer
Envelopes                                              Email
Catalog

No option for fax.  When I got into the Merge Document there were sent
to icons but the send to fax option was grayed out and not working.

Does anyone know how you physically do this mail merge faxing from
Outlook?

Not with WinFax, unfortunately.  Your best bet is to get hold of Symantec,
the folks who publish and support WinFax and ask them.

With WinFax Pro, simply do your merge to a printer. In this
case WinFax Pro.

Firstly you have to set everything with the menu of Tools-Program Setup
in WinFAX Message Manager.

Then from Outlook2002 , push FAX button on the top or follow  the menu
action-New WinFax to send FAX.

Mail Merge is a function in Word2002's menu TOOL-WinFAX Mailmerge
and is anotherthing to use WinFAX function from Word.
