You can batch a job simply adding the document names to a table. Set up timer to fire when you want the batch to run. Loop through the table and fax each document. After you are through delete the document names from the table.

If you don't want Word to start, you will have to use a third party control such as FaxPlus. I have had dubious results with FaxPlus, however, in an automated environment, and you should call the .DLL directly foir best results. FaxPlus is written for VB, and I have had trouble just droping the control on my form and using it.
