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 box

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

Adding a Fax icon to the toolbar (advanced)

You can configure OpenOffice.org so that a single click on an icon automatically sends the current document as a fax. To add an icon for this purpose to a toolbar, see Chapter 17 (Customizing Writer).
