Outlook 2003 - Fax numbers in email lookup?

[Todd]

When we type in an address in the address lines, outlook
pulls up multiple "addresses" foreach contact, their email
adrdress and their fax number. Why is this happening and
how can we prevent it? Is there an option that I have
missed? Thanks!!

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:
