With Outlook 2003 if I save a contact with an email address and fax number,
when sending email, name checking shows it as a duplicate name. This did not
happen with Outlook 2000. I am not using outlook to fax.

The way that Outlook works is that it shows both the email and the fax
addresses in your contact list. Therefore if you have a contact with both
entries completed then it will appear more than once in you contact list
when addressing.
I you do not wish to display the fax entry when addressing then prefix the
fax number with a non-numerical character (e.g. FAX: ) and this will prevent
the fax entry from displaying but still visible when you view the Contact
item.
If you have a number of these to change or wish them to be managed
automatically when you create a new contact then have a look at WS:Fax
Display Manager from Websetters (www.websetters.co.uk) to manage for you.
