There is no separate address book in Outlook and hasn't been for years. The
address book is simply a view of your Contacts Folders. You cannot store
Contacts anywhere but in Contacts Folders.
The Outlook Address Book does not display every Contact. It only displays
those with electronic addresses.
If you want to see only the primary email address in the Outlook Address
Book, store the other electronic addresses in other fields so they will not
display.
Most users have migrated away from using the Outlook Address Book for
recipient selection because it is too inconvenient and cannot be customized.
Contacts Folders on the other hand are highly customizable. Most users now
use autocompletion for quick recipient selection.

I keep a lot of information stored in my Contacts folder. However, there's
a fairly small group of people I e-mail regularly. In previous version of
Outlook, I kept a separate .PAB file for quickly adding e-mail contacts to
my messages.

As it was installed, Outlook 2007 uses my Contacts as the address book
that is used when I click on TO: I see a huge list of names some with
several e-mail addresses and FAX numbers. I understand the PAB option is
no longer available.

What I would like to be able to do is:

-NOT see EVERY entry in my Contacts folder
-NOT see FAX numbers
-NOT see secondary e-mail addresses for the same person


So far, I have been unable to create a separate address book. I am unable
to add names to the Outlook Address Book and cannot add the outlook
address book to my e-mail address books (because it contains no entries).
What am I missing?
