how do I get Contacts 2003 to format a phone number?

**Terry** · May 12th 06, 06:40 PM posted to microsoft.public.outlook.contacts

I just had Outlook 2003 installed. Every time that I add a new phone number
in Contacts, the phone number is not automatically formatted, e.g., (999)
999-9999. It's simply an unbroken string of numbers. I've tried tabbing out
of the field, etc. It also adds a +1 in front of the string, +1 9999999999.

Am I doing something wrong? I can't find anything in the Help or Options
menus.

Have you configured you modem and dialing properties in Windows Control
Panel?
