How can I force Outlook 2K to ignore FAX numbers?

L

Lloyd Matthews

When I specify some contacts in the To: field that have
both FAX and email entries, Outlook asks which address
(FAX or email) I want to send to. I never want to use
Outlook to FAX. Is there a way to force Outlook to only
look at email addresses and ignore FAX numbers?

Thanks, Lloyd Matthews

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:
