I am using Windows XP and Outlook 97. I am also using
the Contacts in Outlook 97.

When I go into the windows Address Book, I cannot delete
or change any of the information in there. I have both
fax and SMTP entries appearing - I only want the SMTP.

How do I fix this?
 
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:
