Send to Mail Multiple fax Recipient numbers

What is the best way to tell someone to Send to Mail Multiple fax
recipient numbers from Outlook 2003? He is using Windows XP fax
program.

thanks

Place those recipients in the To: field. The Fax Service will dial each
valid fax address in succession.
This answer is too simple. Have I misunderstood your question? If I have,
clarify it.

You'll need to find out why and what happens instead. It works for others.

The problem is that Outlook 2003 doesn't place a "+" in front of the
number when there are multiple fax numbers to send a fax to. Microsoft
fax should look a +1-xxx-xxx-xxxx. So the client is faxing to 1 xxx
xxx-xxxx.

If he sends to a single fax number, it works properly.


The client says that microsoft is aware of the problem but can't
locate the fix.

Outlook most certainly does place a + in front of the number when you tell
it to. Fax numbers should always be stored in canonical format for the fax
service to work properly.

The + is not being being dialed when multiple receipts are selected.
Fax numbers are stored propely in canonical format as single receipt
faxes are being sent. So How do I correct this error in Outlook?

thanks

There is no such "error" in Outlook. As I said, this works fine for everyone
else. You have provided no steps that can reproduce your issue.

Open Word
create the document
File, Print
Select MS fax
OK
Next
Open address box
select who you want to send it to
next

etc

The +1 doesn't show up when multiple recipients are selected. If one
person is selected, the + number is seen.

Interesting conclusions you've made, but not valid ones. Whether the +
appears is not relevant. Nor does your question even involve Outlook,
despite your misleading initial post. You are not using Outlook.
My answers applied to sending from Outlook since that was what your question
was.

I am using the address book in Outlook to send the faxes.

I'm having a similar problem. When using the Windows fax wizard I try to
pull multiple contacts from the address book option it brings up my Microsoft
Oulook contacts. When I select the contacts I want it doesn't put the +1 in
front of the fax number that is imported into the fax wizard.

You are only using the Outlook Address Book to store your recipients. You
are using the Fax Service to send faxes.
Sending to multiple recipients works in Outlook, but it is not robust. You
can only send to 3 or 4 at most.

Do you know if the hotfx mentioned in KB925923 fixes this prblem?

In searching the internet , I noticed that this problem has been
around since 1998 and also effects faxing from Small Busines Server.

thanks
