Contact Name Appears Twice

[Rob]

Outlook 2002

When I choose to add a contact to an outgoing email by clicking the TO
button, the display of my contacts contains a number of duplicates, when
added to sender list, I have to be careful to select the correct name
otherwise the Business Fax number is added and not the email address.

Is there a way to display only email address contacts?

Thanks, Rob

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:
