Autocomplete Question

AM, when I do a Ctrl K to get an email address out of my rolodex, how can I
keep it from giving me all the fax phone numbers? All I really want it to
do is list the email address. I don't want to get all the fax phone
numbers. Any suggestions??

FWIW, you're asking about autoresolution, not autocompletion. Autocompletion
would not do this. You might want to consider using it instead.

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 http://www.rsoutlook.com/us/rshifa.htm and
http://www.sperrysoftware.com/Outlook_Solutions.htm (Hide Fax Numbers).

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.

you either need to add a prefix to the fax numbers so they won't be
recognized as valid numbers or more them to another field. There are several
utilities that can add and remove prefixes as needed.
