Contacts appear with 2 email, even though one 1 entered

I create a new contacts folder.
I entered the contacts manually each with a business
phone, business fax (added + 1 to beginning of phone
number) and email address.

When I am creating the distribution list of everyone in
this folder, Outlooks lists everyone twice -- once with
the regular email, once with "business fax"?

Any reason why this is happening? Outlook 2000
 
Behaving as designed. 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:
