Mail Merge to Fax problem

[multiplex77]

Hi all,

I'm trying to use MS Word 2000 to fax out a form letter to multiple recipients. I've created my main document, and Data Source(with fax numbers). When I open the Mail Merge wizard, under "3. Merge the data with the document" and click "Merge", the dialog box under "Merge To" only has the options:
- New document
- Printer
- Electronic mail

I don't have the Fax option. But my fax is definitely installed, because I can fax out documents one-by-one with no problem.

So I just choose "Electronic Mail" and under "Setup", I choose "Data field with Mail/Fax address" as the Fax field in my data source. When I click Ok and Merge, I get a prompt from Microsoft Outlook, "A program is trying to access e-mail address you have stored in Outlook. Do you want to allow this?" SO it seems I can't send out faxes cos I don't have the Fax option available.

Has anyone encountered this problem? Could you please share how you resolved it? I have hundreds of recipients to fax to and really need this to work.

Thanks very much for any help!
