Email/Fax in Contacts

[Carey]

When creating an e-mail and clicking "to:" if you have a
fax number in the contact it creates a seperate contact
listing in the list. One for E-Mail and one for Fax.

I am curious if this is by nature of the program and is it
possible to have it only display one contact name with
both a fax and email address in the contact.

Or is this so that you can choose whether to fax or email
the person.

Thanks

And there you click Freeware.
After that you install it and all went good.
Before you could read the MS Articel if you want.

The standard behavior for the Outlook Address book has always been 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.
