Turn off Fax numbers as users

J

Jeff

When sending an email, I choose "To" to find my receipiant. Two annoying things:

1) all users come up with name(email)
2) those users that have fax numbers come up as users as well.

How do I turn off this option of showing "email" and showing fax number users.

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:
