I have a telephone landline and a Telstra modem, but I really don't think that helps. Since I do not have many faxes I need to send as faxes, I use the free fax service picked up om the internet where I can send 10 emails based faxes on a single email address, here my @outlook.com email address. Since I do have an abundance of other old, but still valid email adresses, from google, telstra, bigpond etc. I should have no real worries with 10 faxes allowed for each free of charge, However, I think that Microsoft is bogged down in som policy matters, why they do not make a simple readily accessable email program. And that is a shame in my opinion. Cheers, Jorgen
Sending faxes using Windows 11.
Has anybody been able to configure Windows Fax and Scan, so that they can send faxes free using Microsoft 365 Word?

2025-04-02T00:33:46+00:00 I managed to get the Fax program to install but it requires a valid fax account with a fax communication company. Yet another Microsloth free app that does nothing at all at a user level.
No, for the last 30 years windows fax software simply requires a landline. Nothing more, nothing less.
The problem isn't with Microsoft. The problem is you no longer have a landline.
As I said on page 4, Microsoft moved stuff around and the documentation is stuck pre-pandemic.
Most of the posts in this thread found the newer spot for 23h2, but you have 24h2 (and windows moved stuff around again and you couldn't find it again).
But guess what? You found the newest spot in 24h2, but you don't tell other people where you found it.

2025-04-01T23:18:04+00:00 I followed instructions for adding Microsoft fax and that went successfully. But when I go to fax a document, Fax does not appear in available printers. How do i get it to appear so i can choose it?
