2. Clicking OK opens the dialogue box for your fax driver, in which you can select the fax recipient.

You can configure LibreOffice so that a single click on an icon automatically sends the current document as a fax:

1. Choose LibreOffice - Preferences Tools - Options - LibreOffice Writer - Print.

2. Select the fax driver from the Fax list box and click OK.

3. Click the arrow icon at the end of the Standard bar. In the drop-down menu, choose Customise.

4. Click Add Commands.

5. Select the "Documents" category, then select the "Send Default Fax" command.

6. Click Add and then Close.
