Outlook Contacts (Business Fax)
When filling out a new contact form - I enter a fax number
and an email. When I then want to use the address book (to send an email) I have two entries for the same person without any distinction as to which is the fax number and which is the email. Do you know how to a) turn off this feature so you only ever have emails appearing in the email address book or b) how to display the fax with some kind of tag, ie. (fax) at the end so that you can tell the difference. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. BTW, I am currently using Outlook 2002. |

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 he http://www.slipstick.com/contacts/nofax.htm -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] " wrote in message ... When filling out a new contact form - I enter a fax number and an email.
