Stop Display-As pile-on

I'm working with Outlook 2002 and 2003 (different computers).  Whenever I set
up a new contact, after typing in the email address, Display As automatically
shows the contact's name, plus piles on the email address after it.
Can't we just stop making the email address be automatically part of the
Display name?
This of course affects the way contacts show up when you start a new message
and click the To: button.  You select a contact, put it in the Message
Recipient's To: box --and the name appears with it's email address
schlobbered all over the end of the name.
How can I alter this automatic menace?

You can't. Outlook is using the format requested by most users.
