Just converted from Outlook 2000 to 2003 - help!

When I put part of a person's name in the "To" field,
when sending a new mail message, such as "Mich" for
Michele and I right click on the name I get several
options. In Outlook 2000 I used to get any email address
with Mich in the persons name. In Outlook 2003 I get
email addresses along with Business and Home Fax numbers
showing. Why is this?

How do I stop the Business and Home Fax options from
showing when I right click on the name. I just want to
see email addresses to fill the To field.

Thanks
 
This is the way the Outlook Address Book has always worked.
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:
