When I address an e-mail and select the To: field, my
address list shows e-mail addresses and Fax #'s. I would like to just show e-mail addresses. Also, some users' Outlook addresses show (e-mail) or (Business Fax) after the name and some don't. Any suggestions? Thanks, Dan |

Outlook shows both the fax numbers (where present) as well as the email
address when addressing an email. I understand that this was so you could send a message via either transport depending upon your contact. However, if you do not use fax on your system, then having the fax address displayed becomes a nuisance. Both because it displays an entry in the addressing dialogue window for each fax number configured as well as the email address, and when you expect Outlook to resolve the name automatically it does not know which of the addresses for that contact you wish to use - showing the squiggly red line. It is possible to suppress the fax entry in the address dialogue by prefixing the Fax Number for the contact with a non-numercal character or string e.g. Fax: 01234 345 678. If you have a number of entries to manage in this way, then you may wish to consider an add-in that will automate the task and allow you to select such as that found at http://www.websetters.co.uk/WSAddIn...nager/Index.htm It resolves these issues by managing your contacts, hiding the fax entry when addressing emails but still showing the details in the contacts folder.
