AppleFax: How to Save Microsoft Word 3.O (.01,.02) Files to Disk


If you get the proper AppleFax modem print dialog box from within Microsoft
Word 3.0 (by holding down the shift key), but cannot save the Microsoft Word
file to send with the AppleFax application, you may need to select "Print" a
second time.

Microsoft Word 3.0 may require selecting the "Print" menu item a second time
to have the AppleFax file written to disk.

When "Print" is shift-selected the first time, a dialog box labeled "AppleFax
Resource" appears, with "Save As" as an option in the dialog box. However,
pressing the "Save As" button does NOT save the AppleFax file.

When "Print" is shift-selected a second time, a dialog box labeled "Printer:
AppleFax Modem" appears. Clicking "OK" in this dialog box DOES write the file
to disk.

(NOTE: Normally, after changing printing resources the "Page Setup" menu item
should be selected and clicked "OK". With Microsoft Word 3.0, shift-select the
"Page Setup" item.)
