I just got a blackberry and to use it need to use a PIM so I'm using outlook
but having some problems. The cell numbers were imported from my old phone to
the blackberry and I then syncrhonized which I was able to resolve some
issues with field mapping but some remain.

1. None of the numbers have the hyphens that appear automatically but appear
as a continual string of numbers. I don't have the time to manually correct
each one. Is there a way to add the hyphens to all of them automatically?
They appear in the bberry and Outlook the same way so fixing them in Outlook
will fix them in the bberry.

2. On that same note a number of them have no area code becuase their local
and were never programmed with an AC. So instead of a 10 digit number their
7. Is there a way to automatically add the area code to everyone that doesn't
have rather then doing it manually?

Basically I'm asking can you edit many numbers in Outlook after they in the
system without changing each manually? Thanks

I'm not sure I want to download something that I don't know about. Is this
program legit or not? I just want to fix it within outlook. Thanks

It's legitimate, but it won't help with either of the problems you have.

Hi Ken,

From the looks of the picture this is exactly what I need: I want to make my
phone nrs canonical and no matter HOW I import from Excel, I cannot get these
'+'-es to appear (without a ", or ' preceding it...). And same as for
Michael; without these my phone cannot dial the numbers.

BUT... Upon installing the tool it won't load, for Oulook says: 'Not loaded,
a run time error occured during the loading.'

I am using Outlook 2002. Do you have a solution??

Thanks in advance,
Derek

No idea offhand. That looks like the sort of error you get with .NET addins
when security isn't set properly but that addin is certainly not a .NET
addin.

Where do you get that error? Is it displayed by Outlook?

Does the addin show up in the COM Add-Ins dialog? (Tools, Options, Other
tab, Advanced Options button, COM Add-Ins button). If it's not checked in
that dialog check it and OK your way out of the Options dialog and see if
it's running then.

If that doesn't work select Help, About Microsoft Outlook, Disabled Items
button and see if it's listed there. If so highlight it and click Enable and
exit and restart Outlook.

When you installed it you did close Outlook first?

Importing phone numbers does not resolve them. You must perform an action
that will cause Outlook to evaluate the numbers and resolve them, which will
underline them. I think it may be as simple as selecting the number field
and then saving and closing the contact.
