HP 6978 Fax Cover Page

[rapidrick]

How do I enter the name of the Fax recipient on the cover page on the Win 7 HP Fax program?  The SENDER info is easily input, but there is no provision to enter the receiver's name, department, etc. The info does not autoflow from the Contacts List, nor is there any way to enter it in the "Create Cover Sheet" popup.
