Follow these step-by-step instructions to learn how to fax an Excel spreadsheet from an Internet fax account.

Instructions

1. Create and save a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet file. The file must be saved on your hard drive in order or you to fax it using an online fax provider.

2. Perform an Internet search for an appropriate Internet fax provider. Look at the system requirements, price and number of faxes allowed in each program before downloading or using them.

3. Download and install the appropriate Internet fax provider to begin using your Internet fax account.

4. Open Microsoft Excel. Click "File," "Open," and locate the spreadsheet you wish to send using your Internet fax account.
