Setting upyourcoverpagetemplate

You can create your own cover page template that you can use in place of the cover page templates that Microsoft Fax provides for you. To create a cover page template, you use the Fax Cover Page Editor. On this template, you insert information fields that automatically import values you enter in both the Send Fax Wizard and the Fax Configuration Wizard when you send your fax.

To set up your fax cover page template:

1Click (Start), All Programs, then click Windows Fax and Scan. Windows Fax and Scan opens.

2If Windows Fax and Scan is in Scan view, click Fax in the lower left corner of the window.

3Click Tools, Cover Pages, then click New. The Fax Cover Page Editor opens.

•If you want to include fields that are imported from the Send Fax Wizard or the Fax Configuration Wizard (such as To or From), add them to the page by using the Insert menu, then move them to the appropriate place on your template. You can also use the Insert menu to include information that is automatically calculated (such as number of pages or date and time sent).

•If you want to include text that always appears on your cover page (such as a letterhead or address), draw a box using the text box tool, type your text inside of it, then move the box to the appropriate place on your template.

•If you want to include a logo that appears on your cover page, copy it to the Windows clipboard, then paste it into the Cover Page Editor and move it to the appropriate place on your template.

4To save your cover page template, click File, then click Save. The Save As dialog box opens with your personal cover pages folder already in the Save in list.
