When I send an email, and search the address book for email addresses, some
of the contacts' fax numbers appear in the list. How do I remove them from
the "address book" email list, but not from the contacts themselves?
 
Of course. That's by design. Always has been. Few questions have been
answered more often than this one.
Outlook considers fax numbers to be valid electronic addresses, since there
are many client- and server-based components that can use such addresses.

One method to hide fax numbers from the address book is to prefix the fax
number with one or more letters (maybe B for business fax, H for home, O for
other). If the fax number begins with a letter, Outlook won't show it in the
address book.

There are a couple of utilities that can help you hide fax numbers from the
address book. See:

Another way to avoid having fax numbers appear in the address book is
simply not to enter data in the fax fields. Put fax numbers in some other
(non-phone) fields.
