How to make Outlook 2007 stop from changing my phone number (forma
I'm using Outlook 2007 (in XP Pro).
I wanted to know if it's possible to make Outlook stop from changing telephone numbers I input. For example, I enter something like 01 23 45 67 89, then Outlook 2007 "very cleverly" changes that to (01) 23 45 67 89..... Come on! Not everybody needs area code. I mean, I've seen the article at http://support.microsoft.com/?id=318575 but this so-called "canonical format" is only true for USA and Canada and a few other countries. Sorry to say so, not everybody on Earth follows everything Americans are doing. Telephone numbers are one of the things that Europeans don't follow! Moreover, it's more common for us, eg in France, to use a dot as a separator instead of a blank-space, eg 01.23.45.67.89 for two reasons: 1. When we use the number pad, it's easier to type the dot than the blank. Similarly, it's easier to type the dot than the dash. 2. When we copy-n-paste the number to Word doc, and when the number is at the end of the end, dot-separated number won't get splitted off as blank-separated number. Sorry, Americans aren't always correct.

Disable the Windows dialing service and your phone numbers should remain unchanged from how you enter them. -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook]

I don't see any service by that name. Did you mean "Telephony" whose internal service name is TapiSrv?

The Telephony Service. -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] The "Remote Access Connection Manager" (RasMan) service is in dependency with TapiSrv, and for some unknown reason, RasMan can't be stopped. So TapiSrv can't be stopped! I've also quitted Outlook before trying to stop RasMan/TapiSrv again, but with the same result: can't stop. What could I do?
