1. A method comprising: storing a data file in a data processing system; receiving data representing an image of a form from a facsimile machine; the form showing a user modifiable field in which a user has made marks by hand; the marks forming a label image within the user modifiable field; the label image identifying the stored data file to the user; using the data representing the image of the form to obtain label data defining the label image and storing the label data; obtaining associating data that associate the data file stored in the data processing system and the label data so that the stored data file can be accessed in the data processing system in response to a signal from a user selecting the label image; using the label data to present the label image to the user so that the user can provide a signal selecting the label image; receiving the signal selecting the label image from the user; and in response to the signal selecting the label image, accessing the stored data file.
