MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / May 2005How do I get Contact phone to automatically enter with the format.
When entering a new contact, wherever I need to put in a phone number I have to put in the ( ) and then the spaces and then the dash to get (555) 555-5555. Is there any way to set a default telephone format? Thanks! Outlook does this automatically when your operating system's dialing location is set correctly.

I'm not a novice; however, I am not fully understanding of all the 'little' things -- and I am "older". :) Thanks! > Outlook does this automatically when your operating system's dialing > location is set correctly. > > When entering a new contact, wherever I need to put in a phone number I > > have > > to put in the ( ) and then the spaces and then the dash to get (555) > > 555-5555.

Is there any way to set a default telephone format? Thanks! IS there any way to set this up otherwise? When I go to open Phone and Modem Options I'm told it's not available and I probably have trouble starting Telephony. I suspect this was disabled by our network adminstrators. In my old version of Outlook, I could just type phone numbers and have automatic formatting.
