remove Fax from address book?

[John D Leonard -- Sage]

Is there a way to stop showing Fax in the address book?

I have a lot of fax numbers in my Contacts. I do not want to loose them -
just not show them in the Address Book.

thx

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 techniques or utilities that can help you hide fax
numbers from the
address book. See:

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.

Thx all - found my own answer.

By putting in a letter, as the first character of the fax number, eliminates
showing it.

I put "fax" in and all shows perfectly.
