Formatting of Outlook Contacts doesn't work anymore
I just had to reinstall outlook 2003 because of a disk crash. When I
used to enter a ohone number such as 1234567890 it used to automatically format to 123 456-7890. After the reinstall nothing happens, it stays as 1234567890. Any ideas? How can I aslo influence the formatting?

Formatting of Outlook Contacts doesn't work anymore
Starting with OS WinXPPro, Outlook 2003, in Control Panel
double-clicking on Phone & Modem Options icon produces a tabbed dialog box offering: Dialing Rules, Modems, Advanced. The tabs "Modems" and "Advanced" do not appear to apply to formatting telephone numbers. Choosing Dialing Rules there is the option to edit Location which, when selected, leads to 3 more tabs: General, Area Code Rules and Calling Cards. In General the dialog box permits the addition of the area code (3 digits only) and location name; Area Code Rules tab options do not appear to apply to formatting phone numbers nor do Calling Cards tab options. Didn't see any opportunity to put in country/region in the modem and dialing properties dialog boxes. So I remain curious as to how to tell Outlook to format phone numbers--to include hyphens between number groups and to omit parens around area codes.

If you set up your area code and country/region correctly in the modem and dialing properties, Outlook will use that information to properly format the phone numbers in the contacts records. -- Brian Tillman
