I have a question realted to this subject: I DON'T use auto-dialling and just
want to use my Outlook 2002 Contacts folder to display telephone numbers in the format of my own choice. I've read the articles Jocelyn refers to; but I'd like to display the numbers in a + xxx yyy zzz zzzz format (where x=international dialling code, y=STD or area code WITHOUT any preceding "0" or "9", and z=local number). I specifically DO want to place a space between the "+" sign and the "xxx" code and I don't want to allow Outlook to automatically place parenthesis (brackets) around ANY STD/area code ("yyy") numbers. Up to Outlook 2000, I could enter the data in the Outlook teleohone number fields as I wished, but increasingly I can't get past the automatic formatting rules applied by Outlook. Can it be done please? Thanks.

However, it doesn't seem to answer the simple question of "How should I enter telephone numbers into Outlook?" or at least I couldn't figure it out based on the information provided. (Sadly Microsoft seems not to have this simple info posted anywhere either) I live in the UK, have primarily US and UK contacts, with a few other international ones. This question is increasedly more important now that I have switched (excitedly) to a Windows enabled phone which will synchronise contacts with Outlook and travel internationally for work. The question is further complicated by the zero prefix (in the UK) for landlines or mobile numbers. I would like to be able to know the format in which to enter (or begrudgingly edit) contacts so that it will be done once and for all and I can use them with the mobile when traveling. Any further suggestions? Many thanks in advance for the advice.

This makes the number invalid so it cannot be used for dialling. How do I fix this? It also applies to other European numbers. |
