On some Outlook installations, you only need to enter the digits in a
telephone number, and when you Tab to the next field, Outlook
automatically adds a parenthesis to the area code and a dash after
the first three numbers.


I have to manually add the paren and dash on my system at home. How
can I set up Outlook to automatically format the phone number? I
have Office 2003 and WinXP.

By configuring your dialing and modem options in Windows Control Panel,
Outlook should properly mask the phone numbers.
