When I create a new email message in Outlook 2002 for XP
and click on the "To" field my contact list comes up but
each contact is listed twice.once with the contacts' email
and once with the contacts' fax number. Any idea how to
get rid of the fax number so I just have one entry per
contact?
 
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:
