Hi, Paul.

PE>Hi.  I have a requirement to be able to fax something
PE>containing graphics.  I have at my disposal:

PE>OS/2 2.1
PE>A faxmodem (spirit II)
PE>Lotus AmiPro for OS/2
PE>Microsoft Word that works under WINOS2
PE>WinFax Lite that works under WINOS2

PE>I can successfully fax text using WinFax Lite, either by
PE>itself or via printing with notepad (this is from memory).
PE>Today I tried doing the graphics using Microsoft Word and
PE>WinFax Lite.  The text portion got transmitted, but the fax
PE>(on the other end), had an error when it reached the graphics.

What was the error?

PE>I took the same Word document in to work and printed it using
PE>Microsoft Word and Mail (which comes with Windows for
PE>Workgroups), and that worked fine from there.

I have successfully faxed text and graphics using Word 2.0, Winfax Lite
and a Spirit II. Haven't actually done that with the Thunder, yet.

PE>I would prefer a solution to this problem that doesn't involve
PE>having to get Windows for Workgroups, as that would require me
PE>to exit OS/2 in order to send a fax, and that means no BBS for
PE>the duration.

Should be possible. Tell me what the error above was.

Regards, FIM.
