Amazon.com Review:
WinFax Pro 10.0 shatters the idea of truth in advertising. The current version of the king suite of faxing software has many of the user-friendly features that have made WinFax Pro the de facto fax application. However, its box copy makes a few promises the software can't keep, so buyers beware: if you're running Windows XP or Office XP (or both), you're looking for trouble if you purchase this otherwise excellent program.

WinFax Pro is full of features, including a cover page designer, an automated backup manager, a network fax-sharing module, and more. Its interface will be familiar and comfortable to anyone who uses Microsoft Outlook or Outlook Express. The Message Manager--where you do most of your faxing work--is divided into Outlook-style panes, with several folders that include a receive log, a send log, an outbox, and a wastebasket in the upper left, a list of faxes in the upper right, and a multipurpose pane on the bottom that lets you view details about a fax or take a quick peek at it.

Opening a fax for viewing invokes a viewer applet, which looks like Adobe Acrobat Reader. It comes complete with a pane of thumbnails down the left side for page navigation, with the main document view taking up the larger portion of the screen.

You can compose fax documents in any word processor. To fax them, use the main WinFax Pro interface, a button installed in your Microsoft Word toolbar, or a drag-and-drop desktop icon. WinFax also lets you send faxes as attachments through Microsoft Outlook, Outlook Express, or Exchange, which is a mysterious feature considering you can send your documents as attachments without WinFax Pro. In any regard, while the feature worked well on a Windows Me machine with Office 2000, it caused errors and crashes on Windows XP.

Other problems surfaced during testing. Faxing directly through Word XP with the toolbar button caused crashes. A "photo quality" mode offered in the send module doesn't come anywhere close to photo quality. Every time we opened Word XP, an error dialog appeared; Symantec's tech support said that it occurred because we didn't have a modem installed. That conversation took place after we'd sent several test faxes through our installed modem.

WinFax Pro 10 worked as advertised on our Windows Me system, and it's full of outstanding features. However, if you've upgraded to Windows XP or if you're running Office XP, hold off until Symantec patches this program into submission. --Joel Durham Jr.

Amazon.com Product Description:
WinFax PRO 10.0 is software for sending, receiving, and managing faxes that is easy to set up, learn, and use. WinFax PRO integrates with key business applications, increasing productivity and making it easier to manage client and customer communications. This latest version of WinFax PRO offers a host of features, including support for Microsoft Windows XP.

Drag-and-drop faxing makes it easier than ever to create faxes, and a new button adds your signature to outgoing faxes with a single click. Now you can send and forward faxes as e-mail attachments. Fax files are sent in a self-viewing format, so recipients don't need WinFax PRO or any other special software to view them. When image clarity is vital, WinFax PRO gives the option of sending photo-quality faxes. WinFax PRO 10.0 can be configured to act as either client or host. Client machines can then be used to send and receive faxes using the resources of the WinFax PRO 10.0 host machine. This workgroup fax solution allows users to define themselves as participants in the network fax environment, virtually eliminating the need for administrative tasks that are common in other fax solutions.

A message manager feature provides a centralized location for all fax events providing quick and easy access to all fax events, phone books, cover pages, and attachments. For simplified project management, store incoming and outgoing faxes in your choice of designated folders. In addition to ACT! and Microsoft Outlook, WinFax PRO now integrates with contact managers, Microsoft Outlook Express, and Goldmine. It can access address books from these applications, streamlining the process of sending faxes.

- the worst product ever made
how a company can release a program that does not work is beyond me... it DOES NOT sync up with ACT! the way is it designed to do... I realize that ACT! changed their software, but that's no excuse... the program basically becomes worthless - why no updates? why no contact program? why no vision?

- Here's how to fix the problem with Winfax and Outlook 2003
I spoke with Symantec tech support today about resolving the problem with Winfax and Outlook 2003. Basically what was happening was everytime I closed Outlook 2003, I would get an error message that Outlook needed to shut down. When I clicked on "Send this error report to Microsoft" it sent a message back to me identifying Winfax as the culprit. It had a link to Symantec's website with an article on the issue with Outlook 2003. I then contacted tech support and after several days and repeated phone ... Read More

WinFax PRO has been discontinued by Symantec. Do not purchase this software unless you are willing to use a discontinued software package.

- This product will make you hate life
Winfax Pro has caused me more headaches than any other single piece of software. It is buggy and slow and crashes at the drop of a hat. As far as I can tell, it is essentially unmaintained by Symantec; I don't think they actually plan on fixing any of the many major bugs, and are just milking this old, old codebase for as long as suckers continue to pay good money for it. Beware!

Rating:

- pathetic piece of garbage
how anybody or any company can publish (in the 10th version in this
case!) such an overpriced and underperforming piece of garbage is unbelievable!
