Address Book display problems
When I open up my address book, one of my contacts shows up two times. Under
the column 'contact e-mail' it shows his actual e-mail address under one name, but under the second name, it shows his fax number underneath the column 'contact e-mail' When we right-click and delete the "copy," the fax number is deleted from the business card (address book info) of the good contact. When we add the fax number back in, we get the original problem again. Thanks for any suggestions! |

Address Book display problems
So what is the problem and what is your question? By design fax numbers
appear in the address book view. 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 techniques or utilities that can help you hide fax numbers from the address book. See: http://support.microsoft.com/default...b/305361/en-us http://www.rsoutlook.com/us/rshifa.htm http://www.sperrysoftware.com/Outlook_Solutions.htm (Hide Fax Numbers) http://www.mapilab.com/outlook/toolbox/ 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. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "ue1" wrote in message ... When I open up my address book, one of my contacts shows up two times.
