I am rapidly falling in love with OpenOffice. However, I want to make everybody aware of a fast-growing fax service that for some reason does not support swx files. I use FAXAWAY, which is a very affordable fax service espceially for low volume users like me. You send them an email with your message either in the email or atached in a file, and they forward it as a fax for a few cents per page, even overseas. When I fax, I normally convert my swx file to pdf, but today I forgot to do that. I was surprised when my fax failed to go through because Faxaway does not support swx files. Its not a big problem, but it seems like an unnecessary marketing barrier for OpenOffice.
FAXAWAY's error message to me is below: Gerald Wilhite ----- Original Message ----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, June 22, 2005 11:40 AM Subject: Andrew Wilhite OK for talking to my parents > Your email message to 18008480984 was received today but > was not processed because there was no convertable > attachment.
