I am using two tools to synchronise my mobile phone with Outlook 2003
(GooSync, Son Eriksson PC Suite) on several computers (maybe not a great
idea). Unfortunately a number of duplicate email addresses have appeared in
each entry - presumably to problems with the sync software - eg.

Full Name: John Smith
E-mail:
Email 2:
Email 3:

Is there any simple way of deleting these? I have about 300 contacts in my
list so it would still be possible to do it manually. Is there a way of
simply getting rid of the Email 2 and Email 3 fields for all contacs?

Hmmm, I'd use a list view of the Contacts folder then go down the column of
email-2 & email-3 to blank them quickly.

Either Vince's suggestion (with in-cell editing enabled) or export to excel
and delete the column, then import. However, unless you identify the cause
and stop doing it, you'll need to repeat the process.
