i import my contacts from an excel file.

when i want to email and i click the To: button, each contact in my address
book  is displayed twice,  one listing their email & one listing their fax.

i don't use any fax service and don't want it to show up. How do i make it
not show??

thanks,
Roger

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:
