Product Outlook 2003 with SP2

Is there any way to stop the fax numbers from listing in the "Select Names"
dialog box when you are selecting an email address?
Thanks, Will

The standard behavior for the Outlook Address book is to display all
electronic addresses (both fax and e-mail). That behavior cannot be changed.
The only way to prevent the display of fax numbers is to store them in a
different field or to disguise them (e.g., precede them with an alpha
character) so that Outlook won't recognize them as phone numbers.
There are also a number of utilities available that can do this for you
automatically. Some are listed here:
