I want to only have emails in the address book list. Currently, it shows
emails & FAX #s, which I find useless in the address book list. How do I get
Outlook to only show emails in the Address Book list? Thank u in advance for
your input.

Welcome to Outlook. You must have just started using it. Outlook considers
fax numbers to be valid electronic addresses, since there are many client-
and server-based components that can use such addresses.

One method to hide fax numbers from the address book is to prefix the fax
number with one or more letters (maybe B for business fax, H for home, O for
other). If the fax number begins with a letter, Outlook won't show it in the
address book.

There are a couple of techniques or utilities that can help you hide fax
numbers from the
address book. See:

Another way to avoid having fax numbers appear in the address book is
simply not to enter data in the fax fields. Put fax numbers in some other
(non-phone) fields.
