Address Book - some fax numbers aren't appearing

M

Microsoft

When sending a fax (printing to fax in Word, for example) some of my
Outlook contacts with fax numbers don't appear in the list that comes up
when you click on the address book. I have to enter the recipient
information for them manually.

Anybody else had this problem? Is there a fix for it?

You'll at least need to tell us to which "address book" you are referring.

I think it's supposed to be my Outlook contacts. It's the address book
that's listed when I print to fax in Word. If it isn't that address book, I
have no idea which one it is. It's the only place I have ever entered phone
numbers, fax numbers and email addresses so I'm assuming it's that one.

The address book that "Print to Fax" invokes is the default Contact list
Manager for your operating system. Specify your fax software and what your
default Contacts Manager is. If you don't know, look in Control Panel >
Internet Options > Programs.

Outlook 2003 is my default Contacts Manager and the software I use to fax
is the native XP Professional fax program.

If so, then every valid, resolved number in a fax field will appear in the
address book.
Either your numbers aren't resolved, or you are entering them in a Contacts
Folder other than the one you are displaying in your Outlook Address Book.

Based on this reply, I went to the 2 entries in my Outlook contacts and
they appeared to have their fax numbers formatted correctly but I
double-clicked on them anyway. Lo and behold, they now appear in the list
so I guess that's you meant by "resolved" because I knew I only had one
Contacts folder. Thanks for the help. Now I know what to do if I find
another entry missing that actually has a fax number.

Thanks again.

It's not resolved until it is underlined. Something was preventing Outlook
from recognizing it as a valid fax number until you edited it.

I never noticed the underlining but I've looked at the entries in Outlook
and, sure enough, most of them are underlined. I'll scroll through all of
them and check them. Thanks for that information.

Russ, this is exactly what has happened to my outlook!!!

If I now go to a fax number (in the fax field of the contact folder) missing
from the outlook address book contact and simply double click the fax field
in the contact window, click ok, then save & close, that fax number will once
again show up in the outlook address book contacts.

Is there any way to do this for all fax numbers for all contacts without
going through each contact individually?

Did you ever import these Contacts? If not, then just reset your Outlook
Address Book as I outlined in your other post.
