Default Contacts Appear Twice in Address List

Thankyou I will let the user know what to do.

Behaving as designed. Fax numbers are 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:

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.

One of our users has set up a contact list which includes faxes and email
addresses. This folder has been added to the address book so that when a
new
message is composed you can select the contacts from the address list.

The problem is that contacts which have a fax number appear twice in the
list. We need to just display one entry per person without deleting the
fax
number. Does anyone have any ideas?
