<div><br>Hi Frank!</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Ok, first the truth, no phone line or fax where I live. Once in a while I find them useful but e-mail gets me there 99% of the time.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I do have interest there for the 1% however and conversion problems seem to facinate me.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I would be interested what Open Office Org reader does if you try to open a fax file with it? Please let me know if you try.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Other than that google yeilds:</div>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><font face="Times New Roman"> My guess is that conversion to a picture format (tiff) has trouble "getting it all in there" when the document is long. Better to use a viewer if possible espically if you can print directly from it (xfax above).
