Why does Business Fax show in address book

[Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook]]

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.

Most users export to Excel which supports a Find and replace function, the
imports back into Outlook. You can also try the techniques here:
