We recently started using an internet fax service and I am trying to create a simple fax cover sheet template. I have it setup with Rich Text Content Controls for the To/From/Fax#, etc. The date and page count are updatedable fields. I added an ActiveX button that updates the fields, but I also want it to create an email with the Fax# in the To field of the email (with @example.com added to it) and attach the document as a pdf. I have the Fax# Content Control as a bookmark, if that helps.

I tried recording a macro for sending as a pdf attachment, but when I run the recorded macro it doesn't seem to do anything.

I have looked for ways to make this work and tried to adapt some code from an excel file that emails out a workbook, but can't figure it out. I have done very little coding for word and appreciate any help.

Thanks.

I found a solution, but it won't let me post the link here.

Many Internet fax services have already incorporated the cover page into the service, where you can manage you contact details: address, phone, fax, logo, etc. You just select it when you send a fax and it's included automatically, look here how it works: Popfax.com, FAQ page, section 1, how do I insert the cover page in my fax.
