1.Go to Write menu and choose your document or template.  In our example below we chose "Letter".
2.In Microsoft Word, depending on the Office version you have, either go to ACT! menu and choose Send Fax or, in 2007 go to the ACT! menu pull down and choose "Send Fax". You may get prompted to save the document first.  If this is the case, Go to File > Save As and save the document the proceed with these steps again.  The following box will appear.
