About FaxMerge

The FaxPress Premier’s FaxMerge feature lets users generate the fax equivalent of form letters. With FaxMerge, users create a template document with fields for recipient and fax number information. This template document can then be merged with a data source (e.g., an ASCII file, another Word document, an Excel spreadsheet or a dBase database). This allows users to send what appears to be one personalized document to many recipients.

To become available, the FaxMerge feature must first be installed from the FaxPress Plus client.

Required ODBC Data Sources and Drivers

The following data sources and the ODBC drivers are required for FaxMerge operation:

Excel Spreadsheet – Microsoft Excel Driver

Access Database – Microsoft Access Driver

Text or CSV file – Microsoft Text Driver

dBase file – Microsoft dBase Driver

Adjusting Microsoft Security Settings

Before installing, make sure your Microsoft Security settings are set to Medium or low rather than High, by opening a Word document and going to Tools> Macro>Security.
