Am using Outlook 2003.

When I go to do an e-mail and I click TO: to get to my
address book, I have people listed who only have FAX
numbers as well as those who have e-mail addresses??

Also those with both E-mail addresses and FAX numbers have
both listed in the address book. Whay is the Fax
information showing up there and how do I get that to not
show up as a line item in my address book.

Thanks

Tom
 
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 utilities that can help you hide fax numbers from the
address book. See http://www.rsoutlook.com/us/rshifa.htm and
http://www.sperrysoftware.com/Outlook_Solutions.htm (Hide Fax Numbers).

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.
