How can I get the Business Fax phone number to appear on the contact card as
a default instead of having to open the card and adding the field every time
I create a new contact?

Since you just posted that you don't want your fax numbers to appear, why do
you want to do this?
Your post is unclear. Explain what you think the difference is between an
open and a closed "Contact Card." You always open a Contact record to enter
data, and the Business Fax number is on the first page of the Contact Record
by default. What is it you want to do that you can't?

Sorry for the confusion - I should have thought this out a little more.

When you create a new contact, there are fields for the phone numbers, one
of which is business fax. However, to have the business fax number appear on
the card when you view it, while you are in the create card mode you have to
double click on the picture of the card to open another window that allows
you to pick and choose what you want to see on that individual card. I'm just
wondering if there is a way to change the default to display the fax number
without having to open the contact.

Thank you for your other response to my question about not having the fax
number appear when creating a new email (which creates a second entry). I
will now add an "F" before entering the fax number.

Hope this makes a little more sense.

"create card mode" makes no sense. Please state the view to which you are
referring using Outlook's terminology.

that is on the business card picture. to change that, you need to open a new
form and set it up as you want then publish it and make it default.
