4.12 Creating a Fax Internally
STFax Pro allows you to create a fax from a number of different sources such as an image, a text file or simply by entering text into a mini internal text editor.

Click on the "New Fax" button on the main STFax Pro window and a window will appear.

This window has two main tasks: it allows you to create a new fax from scratch and edit a fax at a later date.

The options within "selected page" allow you to view a fax page, re-arrange the fax pages, delete a fax page or edit (if it was created internally with the texteditor).

You can create one or more pages and these will be sent one-by-one by STFax Pro when you transmit the fax.

The options within "new page" allow you to create a new page for your fax. You can create a page from an image (a requestor will appear asking you for the image file), from a text file or via the internal text editor.

If you load an image to be converted to a fax, unless it is smaller than an A4 page (297 x 210mm or 1728 x 2000 pixels) it needs to be scaled to fit within the page. Check the "scale image" box before you convert your image.

You can create a basic text message via the internal editor. Simply type text into the main window. You can even load an external text file via the rmb context menu and then edit this. You can also call an external editor which is configured within MUI prefs (see the section on configuring MUI for further information).

Press "ok" in the edit fax box to save the newly created internal fax. STFax Pro will save this to you hard drive and it will appear within the "stored" group list.

You can choose to send/transmit this fax at any time in the future by highlighting the fax and clicking the transmit button.
