How do I get rid of the duplicate names in the Address Book that show the
fax number?  I only use the address book for emails so the duplicate record
for EVERY contact is an annoyance.

As posted several times a day here:
The standard behavior for the Outlook Address book is to display all
electronic addresses (both fax and e-mail). That behavior cannot be changed.
The only way to prevent the display of fax numbers is to store them in a
different field or to disguise them (e.g., precede them with an alpha
character) so that Outlook won't recognize them as phone numbers.
There are also a number of utilities available that can do this for you
automatically. Some are listed here:
