When I enter a business fax number it shows up as a
duplicate entry in the "To:" window drop down. What's
happening and how can I fix it?
 
Normal behavior. Nothing to fix. 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:

This is the default behavior for Outlook 2002. See the following page
for more information and a possible workaround:
