A word of warning, though. Be sure to scan any free software you download with a malware checker before running it on your computer.

If You Have Smartfax Fax, StarOffice Formula, or OpenOffice.org Formula Installed

If one of these software packages are already installed on your PC, but it still won't work to open your SMF file, you might have to check that the file associations are correct. Right-click on the file, select "Open With...", and then select Smartfax Fax, StarOffice Formula, or OpenOffice.org Formula. That will create an association between the SMF file extension and your chosen software.

Your SMF Might Be Corrupt

Finally, if you're still having issues opening your SMF file, download the file again or ask the sender to resend it. It's possible that your SMF file might be corrupt. As a last resort, contact the software developers to see if they may be of further assistance.
