Shows 2 Email addresses in Contacts

When I look for an email address in Outlook by clicking on "To...", Selcet Names, Show Names from the: Contacts, many entries show the same name twice. The first name is the email address, the second name is the Business Fax (only shows if there is an entry). I don't want the Business Fax address to show in this list as it is useless, add more names and sometines I selcet it which causes an error when sending the email. How can I eliminate this other name for "Business Fax"?

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:
