When creating a new email - I hit the "to" button and my
contacts show up, but in addition to their email
addresses their fax numbers also show up as an option.
How do I turn that feature off? Thanks - Tina
 
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:

in and they are gone!!
