How do I change the default City/Area Code in Contacts?
 

My computer was "UPGRADED" to Office 2007 - somehow, I accidently set the
default area code for phone numbers to 650. I just need to know how to reset
the default.

Not an Outlook setting. It is an OS setting. Set your default dialing
location for whatever OS you are using correctly. We don't know what OS that
is. I'm sure you can figure it out.

Actually, I found the answer in MS Office Online. Even though it said
"Applies to Outlook 2003", it worked for 2007. In Contacts, on "Actions"
menu, point to "Call Contact" and click "New Call". Click "Dialing
Properties". Click "New". Select the options you want. I was able to change
the default.

I really am not that computer savvy and just wanted to 'fix' the area code
thing. It works now. Thanks for responding.

That's just a round about way to set the dialing location for your OS. It's
usually easier to do this through Control Panel.
