When writing a new e-mail, I select a contact in my contacts list, the
display name does not match the contact.
In the contacts file (e-mail address removed) shows a display name of "John
Smith", but when I select this contact using the "To:" button, the display
name comes up as "John Smith (Business fax)", or "John Smith
([email protected])"

Nowhere in the contact file does the above items show up.

How do I correct this?
 
Please remember that no one can answer Outlook questions when you fail to
provide even basic information such as your version.
 
Sorry, Windows XP, MS Office 2003, data migrated from Outlook 2000 (where it
displayed properly)

Ick.
How did you "migrate" your data?
What do you consider to be the "correct" display and to what view are you
referring?
