MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / February 2008How do I turn on autoformatting when I enter a new Contact's phon.
Normally, when I enter a new phone number in Outlook, and tab out of the field, the number will format correctly, e.g., (123) 555-1212. However, I have some users where this feature appears to be turned off. How can I re-enable it? Thanks! It is enabled by default when the dialing location is set correctly for the OS.

I have set it using control panel->phone and modem options -> adding a location, and it still does not work. Is that the correct place to set it? I have OL2003/XP Pro/SP2.

When I looked at the location again, I realized I had made a mistake. Here are the steps in detail (these are in Windows XP): 1. Go to Control panel->phone and modem and open it 2. Click on "New" button 3. Select "United States" for the "Country/Region" drop-down 4. Add the 3-digit Area Code under "Area code" 5. Add other detail if needed 6. Click "OK" and "OK" again And the feature should work. I had a "1" under "Area code" - dumb mistake!

I have to second Pad113's message - OutlookNovice, your simple, exact instructions were exactly what I needed. Why can't the "experts" provide this info??? This is at least the 3rd time I have asked a question where the "experts" have not provided a simple, exact answer. "Experts" , please take note. > Thanks much novice.
