How do you get email addresses only on "Select Names"?
When I'm selecting names for a distribution list, I have the person's name
showing up twice: one with an email address and one with - of all things - the fax number. How do I get rid of the fax number leaving just the one name and one email address per person?

How do you get email addresses only on "Select Names"?
Thanks, Diane. Just wondering how hard it would be to incorporate a fix for
this problem within Outlook itself. Seems like it could be a simple option in one of the tabs in "Customize" or "Options" menues. Having to go back and add a letter or the word "fax" to every person in my "Contacts" folder, or pay someone else $25 for yet another windows-fix application is just one more annoying problem with being a Windows user. I think I'll see if I can get Steve Jobs on the phone....

There is nothing to fix - fax # are legitimate electronic addresses.
If you think apple is the end all be all, good for you.

How do you get email addresses only on "Select Names"?
I've got a similar problem in that I have prefixed my fax numbers with
various prefixes including 'FAX', 'fx', 'fa', etc. I've tried exporting my contacts as a .csv and .xls file, stripping the prefixes and then importing back into Outlook but the result is a blank fax field in all contacts! Any suggestions?

Similar problem to what? Thread is too old to follow and you didn't quote
any post. State the problem you are having. If you are trying to create resolved fax addresses, importing them will never do so. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "rbeckert" wrote in message ...

Alrighty...let's start from the beginning. I am using Outlook 2003 and I have
prefixed my fax numbers with various prefixes including 'FAX', 'fx', 'fa', etc. I've tried exporting my contacts as a .csv and .xls file, stripping the prefixes and then importing back into Outlook but the result is a blank fax field in all contacts!

Yes. That's what I would expect. What are you trying to do?
