I have purchased a cheap, no features Memorex flatbed scanner as a learning experience. I would like to be able to use the scanner to scan documents to be able to be sent via Fax to recipients with a simple fax machine as well as to start learning how to manipulate images for insertion into documents or as attachments to email. The software that came with the scanner, as well as software I have from previous modem purchases, is of the "light" or "teaser" variety which does not allow for scanning and then use of the image for fax purposes. Having no experience in this area, I would appreciate feedback from forum members on what software might best serve fax purposes and what other software might be might more appropriate for image manipulation. For what it is worth, I am not contemplating any kind of heavy duty graphic uses. I just want to have some flexibility while getting my feet wet. Thanks for your help. David E.
