    I send faxes to different clients. I use Fax merge. I am using Winfax Pro 10.02, MS Office 2003 Professional and Windows XP. Is there anyway I can place data from two different fields in the mail merge document in the Subject field of the Winfax cover sheet? For example: Subject: Fax regarding Field 1-First Name Field 2-Last Name, Field 3-Date of Birth

    If you are doing a Fax Merge, no this is not possible. If you are faxing single pages at a time (not using the Merge) then this is possible.

    You highlight the entire line to be part of the “wfxSubject” style, which would include those three data fields. Should work Ok.

    The only problem is some of the data WinFax accepts have a limited amount of characters.

    Here is info about Stylles:

    Creating the Wfx Styles

    If you use a template that is faxed regularly, you might want to add the styles to the template so
    they are always available.

    For Word XP/2002:

    1. Click Styles and Formatting on the Formatting toolbar, or click the Format menu, and
    then click Styles and Formatting.
    2. In the Styles and Formatting task pane, click New Style.
    3. In the Name box, type a name for the style. For example, WfxFaxNum.
    4. In the Style type box, click Character.
    5. Click OK and repeat for each of the wfx styles you wish to use.

    For Word 2000:

    1. Click the Format menu, and then click Styles.
    2. In the Styles dialog box, click New.
    3. In the Name box, type a name for the style. For example, WfxFaxNum.
    4. In the Style type box, click Character.
    5. Click OK and repeat for each of the wfx styles you wish to use.

    The following is a list, with descriptions, of the available WinFax Wfx styles:

    Wfx Style Description

    WfxFaxNum Fax number (47 characters maximum)
    WfxRecipient Recipient’s name (31 character maximum)
    WfxTime Transmit time (HH:MM:SS time format required)
    WfxDate Transmit date (MM/DD/YY date format required)
    WfxCompany Company (42 characters maximum)
    WfxSubject Subject (79 characters maximum)
    WfxKeyword Keywords (33 characters maximum)
    WfxBillCode Billing code (26 characters maximum)
