Sick of Fax Numbers as Email in Outlook?

April 4th, 2005 · No Comments

Sick of seeing fax numbers as valid email addresses in Outlook 2003?

This code will prepend “fax: ” to all of the fax numbers in Outlook (BusinessFax, HomeFax, and OtherFax) so it won’t be recognized as a valid email address.

To do this:
1. Copy the text from this file: fixfax.txt
2. Open Outlook and hit ALT-F11 to open the Visual Basic Editor (VBE)
3. Insert–>Module.
4. Paste the code into the module and hit CTRL-S to save it.
5. Go back to Outlook and view your contacst as a “Phone List”
6. Select them all.
7. Tool–>Macros…–>FixFax

Enjoy!
