Default Phone Number Formatting

Hi All,

I am using Outlook 2002 and my question is this:

When adding/entering contacts, is there any way to have the phone number
format be xxx-xxx-xxxx instead of the default (xxx) xxx-xxxx?

It would seem like a simple formatting setting/control, but I cant seem to
find one. Any help would be appreciated.

I asked nicely. Most people won't.
Learn newsgroup etiquette.
Or just keep it up. See how many answers you get.

He didn't TELL you, he asked you, politely.

From Good Posts from the mvps.org page:
Survival Camp: posting errors to avoid...
1.. Don't ask for an email reply unless absolutely necessary, and then
follow up to the group with a summary.
2.. Avoid cross-posting, unless your problem clearly fits the category
of more than one group.
3.. Never post separate identical messages to several newsgroups. This
wastes respondents' time, and may result in you being ignored.

Post all replies to the group to keep the discussion intact. All
unsolicited mail sent to my personal account will be deleted without
reading.

After furious head scratching, RJM asked:
