Default Fax Number Showing Up in my "Select Names" List

Didn't look before you posted did you? Asked and answered every day here.
Outlook considers fax numbers to be valid electronic addresses, since there
are many client- and server-based components that can use such addresses.

One method to hide fax numbers from the address book is to prefix the fax
number with one or more letters (maybe B for business fax, H for home, O for
other). If the fax number begins with a letter, Outlook won't show it in the
address book.

There are a couple of utilities that can help you hide fax numbers from the
address book. See:

Another way to avoid having fax numbers appear in the address book is
simply not to enter data in the fax fields. Put fax numbers in some other
(non-phone) fields.

When I click the "To" button when using Outlook 2003 a dialogue box
containing my contact list(s) opens, but the list also includes the
contacts fax number as well, which I find VERY annoying.
Is there any way to work with or modify what is shown in this list?

Thanks
