address book field mapping
anarky99 wrote:
I did look again and found one contact showing a fax number in address book. This was a new contact I added yesterday. This seems to indicate an issue with how the fax numbers were originally entered. The rest of my contacts were imported from a comma separated file I created from Outlook on another computer. I did re-enter fax numbers in my contacts folder and re-saved the contacts and what do you know? The fax numbers now appear in address book. I was trying to avoid re-entering every fax number. I wonder why the fax numbers were not already recognized in address book since they were correctly imported in Outlook to the correct field That's one of the problems with importing. -- Brian Tillman |

address book field mapping
Numbers will not appear until they are resolved. Imported numbers are not
resolved until you open and save the Contact Record into which you imported them. You won't have to re-enter any numbers, but you will have to open and save each Contact. You could also try removing the Outlook Address Book Service, restarting Outlook, then re-add it to see if that forces resolution. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "anarky99" wrote in message oups.com...

Address book shows separate line for each contact's email address but does not show any of my contact's fax numbers. I read somewhere that people can hide fax numbers if they do not wish to see them, however I have never hidden the fax numbers as I want to see them within address book. Describe what one of the fax numbers looks like that you believe to be in a valid format. Is the fax number underlined in the Contact item? -- Brian Tillman |
