Re: WinFax Pro and Printer Confusion
Not to argue with an MVP, but I have been using Winfax (successfully)
with XP since XP came out - now at Winfax ver 10.3. Symantec is no help
whatsoever & has not been for many years.
The macros I have for Winfax (as installed from the WF prog) work OK,
but do NOT return the default printer to what it was before you used WF,
all of the times. I simply wrote a macro for Word & Excel that does
return my default printer to what it was before.
