To send a fax directly from OpenOffice.org, you need a fax modem and a fax driver that allows applications to communicate with the fax modem.

Sending a fax through the Print dialog

1. Open the Print dialog by choosing File > Print and select the fax driver in the Name list.
2. Click OK to open the dialog for your fax driver, where you can select the fax recipient.

Adding a Fax icon to the toolbar

You can configure OpenOffice.org so that a single click on an icon automatically sends the current document as a fax. See [[../Customizing OpenOffice.org|Chapter 14 (Customizing OpenOffice.org)]] for instructions.
