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:

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.

When I use the TO: button to open my address
book to select the names There are email/SMTP and fax #/FAX listed for
the same person. Is there a way to only have the SMTP listed?
