Microsoft Fax Does Not Dial Complete Phone Number
This article was previously published under Q238078
When you try to send a fax using Microsoft Fax, you may not dial the complete phone number. For example, if you are dialing 555-1212, Microsoft Fax dials only 555-121.
This issue can occur because there is a limit of the number of characters that the fax header can contain. The
To box and the
Phone number box can contain a combined total of 56 characters. Any spaces in these boxes are counted as characters.
To resolve this issue, use less characters in the
To box of your fax message.
APPLIES TO
- Microsoft Windows 95
- Microsoft Windows 98 Standard Edition
- Microsoft Windows 98 Second Edition
Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
