MS Office Forum / Word / Mailmerge and Fax / August 2006Fax Wizard
How do I know if the fax that I sent through via the Fax Wizard went through successfully? I just sent in a fax and after clicking "Finish" nothing happened. I didn't get a message saying "Your fax went through successfully" or something like that. So how do I know if it went thru or not? Also, is there a way that I can view any previous faxes I have sent?  SignatureTony (BTW, this group is called microsoft.public.word.mailmerge.fields and there is no particular reason to expect that anyone here knows any more about fax than you do: for some reason Microsoft has put "Fax" in their group title on their web page) Are you sending your faxes via the Internet or via a faxmodem? If the latter, which version of Windows are you using? If it's Windows XP, try looking at Start|All Programs|Accessories|Communications|Fax|Fax Console|Outbox and Sent Items for further status info. If you are sending via the Internet, you'll probably find some status info. in Outlook somewhere, or by goig to a status web page provided by your fax service provider.

I'm faxing through a modem not the internet. Which forum was I supposed to post my question in if not this one? I'm using Windows 2000 and Word 2002. I'm faxing through a modem not the internet. I did follow your Windows XP steps and Win2K leads me to a "Faxes sent" folder. It's empty! So I check the Fax Queue and double-click on the document. The properties window states the fax is "retrying". I'm guessing that means that fax is not going through anytime soon. How fast does a fax normally go through successfully? And which forum was I supposed to post my question in if not this one? Thanks.

I only mention the fact that we're not really about fax so that people do not have high expectations. I, for one, rarely send faxes these days. > How fast does a fax > normally go through successfully? Off the top of my head, the modem probably takes about 30 seconds to a minute to connect (assuming the other end has a suitable fax modem/machine ready and waiting) and each page probably takes around 30 seconds. I would suggest you enable Tools|Fax Monitor in the Fax console, and try to get the Fax Consle to resend you fax /now/ and see what happens. Personally, I like to enable the sound on my modem as that sometimes provides a clue as to what is going on. There are certainly obvious possible reasons for failure, e.g.: - the number you dialled isn't a fax (you can dial it on a phone and at least check that there is a fax or a modem) - the number is a fax or faxmodem, but has been configured not to accept incoming calls Peter Jamieson > I'm using Windows 2000 and Word 2002.
