Fax Numbers Showing up in TO list

[David]

Since I installed Outlook 2003 every contact that I have has their email address, as well as their fax number. Is there some way that I can have it so that the fax numbers do not show up just the email addresses?

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:
