If I put in a Business FAX into a contact, I get a
duplicate contact listed when I compose a new message and
click on "To" to egt their email address from contacts.
If I remove the business FAX number the duplicate goes
away. Why ??
 
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:
