Adding text with the Edit toolbar

To display the Edit toolbar, click the Edit tool on the View or Thumbnail toolbars. Although most of the tools are the same, some special Edit tools let you add text to faxes. See The View Menu, discussed earlier in this section.

1.Click the Text tool.

2.Position the cursor where you want to add the text and click the left mouse button. (Remember, when you add text, the existing text does not move to make room as a word processor does. Instead, after clicking the Text tool, the new text will be superimposed on the existing text.

3.Start typing; the text you add is shown in red. As the text does not automatically wrap, press the Enter key when you reach the end of a line, to begin a new line.

Note: Although you can delete text with the backspace key, once you click your mouse button outside the text, you will not be able to change or delete the new text, except by closing and reopening the fax.

4.After adding text in the current location, click the left mouse button outside the text.

5.To add text in another location, repeat steps 2 through 4.

6.When you have finished adding text, if you want to send the fax now, go on to step 10. Otherwise, to save your changes without sending the fax, choose File/Close. You are prompted, "Save changes to document?" Click the Yes button. The Save As dialog box appears. Enter a filename (change the drive and/or directory if necessary) and click the OK button. If the filename you chose already exists, you'll be asked if you want to replace the existing file. Click the Yes button.

7.To send the fax now, choose Send/Send Fax, otherwise go to step 10. If you began this process by sending a fax from a Windows application (Method 1), you'll see "Compressing" and "Merging" messages, and your fax is sent at the scheduled time.
