Not an Outlook question. Outlook uses the Windows dialer. Consult an OS
group about how to create and use dialing rules. Better yet, search the
Internet. This information is widely available.

Thank you,Russ.But I think,regardless of the dialing rules,the way must be
pre-defined to enter the extension number in the phone number box on the
Outlook contact form, e.g. a letter "w" for an outside line,a comma "," for
a pause,and what for the extension number?

You can define an extension any way you please in the phone number field of
the COntact form. The problem is that the Windows dialer has no provision
for controlling a voice modem, so adding modem commands to the phone number
is pointless. The Windows dialer expects another modem to answer.

Use software other than Outlook for placing the call. If you have a
voice-capable modem, ask the vendor what they suggest.
