Summary:

To save a fax file using the AppleFax Modem driver and Microsoft Word for the Macintosh version 3.01, 3.02, or follow these steps:


 * 1) Start Microsoft Word.
 * 2) From the Apple menu, choose Chooser, and click the AppleFax Modem icon. Close the Chooser.
 * 3) Open or create the document to be faxed.
 * 4) While holding down the SHIFT key, use the mouse to choose Print from the File menu.
 * 5) Click the Save File button.
 * 6) Enter a name in the Save Fax As field or use the default name of “Fax File”. Click Save, then click OK.
 * 7) To generate the fax file, choose Print from the File menu and click OK.

The fax file will be saved to the location specified in step 6.

This problem will not occur with versions of Word later than version 3.0 because Word now uses the standard File Print dialog box. Word version 3.0 used a custom File Print dialog box that would not allow printing to a file unless the method listed above was used.
