Disable display of fax number when selecting reciepients

[Tim Anderson]

I am using Office XP and I do not have a fax modem in my
computer.

When I compose a new email message and I select the
recipients from my contacts how can I disable the fax
information that is displayed?

When I have a contact with an email address and a fax
number both are listed.

I only want to see email address. Is there a setting I
can make to allow this to happen? This is a major
inconvenience and I would love to find a way to solve
this.

Any ideas for suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

I have the same issue and would love to have a solution.
I have searched around to find nothing. If you get the
answer please email it to me...

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:

I have the same problem and was attempting to search for

the same answer. If you find the answer let me know. It
is very annoying.
