When I add a new contact to Outlook's 2002 address book,
it creates a double entry. One with the e-mail address,
and the other with the fax number. When I create a new
message, and type in the name, there is no response. When
I click on "To", I see the same contact listed twice.
Again, in checking properties, one is with the e-mail
addrss, and the other is with the fax number. How can
this be corrected?
 
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:
