TOPIC

    How can I create a coversheet using the PowerBook Express Modem Fax software? I have a PowerBook 165 and I cannot figure out how to replace dummy lines with actual text in the template for customized cover pages.

    Page 93 of the manual states, referring to the template: "The text [for the sender's name, address, etc.] in angle brackets acts as a placeholder for the text you enter in the Cover Page Information dialog box and Fax Phone Book in Fax Sender." It is not clear, though, how to move information from these locations to the cover page. Can you explain?

DISCUSSION

    Once you have laid out the FAX Cover page the way you want it (as on page 93) then select FAX Sender in the Chooser, or hold down the control and option keys as you pull down the File menu. You should see FAX in place of Print (Sometimes this does not show properly so just select Print) and you will see the FAX Sender window.

    If you have an address book you will see entries on the lower left. Drag the little face to the box on the right. If you don't have an address made already, click on the New button. This will give you a place to enter the name, address, fax and voice number.

    The Cover Info button opens the window that lets you enter your information. Select the cover you designed, from the Cover Page pulldown menu. Then click on the Preview button, you will see the fax as it will be sent, all the fields that were "Placeholders" are now filled in with the data from the address book and the cover data button areas.

    Click the View icon on the lower left. The right icon of the pair will enlarge the document so you can read it. Use the hand icon to move the document around to see all of it.

    Once you save the cover, you must (with the cover page still open) select "Install Cover Page" from the File menu. Once this is done you will see the cover page you made appear in the "Cover Page" pulldown in the FAX Sender window.
