fax numbers do not appear in my address book

[lesviator]

I have the reverse problem of some people in this forum. When I show names
from one specific Contacts folder in Outlook 2003, the Address Book shows the
email addresses, but not the fax numbers, although they have all been entered
correctly in the records. How can I have my address book show the fax numbers?

Right-click on the column header and use Field Chooser to add the Fax
column. Then drag that column to whatever position you want in the
column header row.

You mean the column header in the Contact view? In the contact view, "Phone
list" layout, all contacts display their Business fax (i.e., de Business Fax
column is there.) And yet, the fax does not appear in the address book.

Are you sure you're talking about Outlook 2003?

Oops, I thought you were looking in a contact-type folder. The
"Outlook Address Book" (OAB) is a misnomer. It really isn't an
address book. It is a container that will show the records from each
contact-type folder that you enable to include in this container. I
rarely use the Outlook Address Book and instead look in the
contact-type folder. The OAB is not as configurable in its view as
are contact-type folders. It's more like a garbage can where you can
see *some* of what has been thrown into it.

If fax numbers do not appear you either did not place them in the right
field or did not use a valid format that would permit the numbers to
resolve. Your move.
