Are you starting your merge from Word or Outlook? Starting from Outlook is
much easier - see this page for information:
http://www.slipstick.com/addins/services/winxpfax.htm especially this
section which I copied verbatim:
Fax Merges
Other missing features fall into the category of deficiencies of the Windows
2000 Fax service that Microsoft did not address in this release. Fax merges,
for example, require the the fax number in the contact record top be in
one-off format. Microsoft now acknowledges that idiosyncrasy and provides a
workaround. The message format needs to be in HTML if you want to avoid the
email security prompts from Outlook 2002 or patched versions of Outlook
2000. The fax service still does not place a “fax recipient” option in Word
for a merge. You must still merge to an e-mail recipient.

much easier - see this page for information:
http://www.slipstick.com/addins/services/winxpfax.htm especially this
section which I copied verbatim:
Fax Merges
Other missing features fall into the category of deficiencies of the Windows
2000 Fax service that Microsoft did not address in this release. Fax merges,
for example, require the the fax number in the contact record top be in
one-off format. Microsoft now acknowledges that idiosyncrasy and provides a
workaround. The message format needs to be in HTML if you want to avoid the
email security prompts from Outlook 2002 or patched versions of Outlook
2000. The fax service still does not place a “fax recipient” option in Word
for a merge. You must still merge to an e-mail recipient.

workaround. The message format needs to be in HTML if you want to avoid the
email security prompts from Outlook 2002 or patched versions of Outlook
2000. The fax service still does not place a “fax recipient” option in Word
for a merge. You must still merge to an e-mail recipient.

We'll I finally got it working thanks to Milly =-)
I will share the steps I took for the forum that worked for me as best as I
can recall. Please note YMMV:
1) Share the modem. 1 modem, haven't tried a pool yet.
Have users add the
modem to thier printers.
2) Add the 'FAX transport service' to outlook for users who will use the
merge! <---I missed this bigtime. It is like adding another mailbox in
outlook for that user.
Tools-->Email Accounts-->Add--> Additional server types. Shoose transport
service.
MODEM MUST ALREADY BE INSTALLED!
3) Create a document open the data source and add the fields and preview.
4) FAX NUMBER MUST BE IN this format: [fax:1,999-555-1212] WITH BRACKETS!
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=289532 if using outside data source.
5) Merge to email and select the field of the FAX number as the destination.
6) The fax transport service will recognize the format of the field and push
it to the shared fax.
Thats how to merge to a shared fax with office 2003. Make sure to test first.
Lot's of hoops imho.
