MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / January 2006Outllook autodialing
When I attempt to put a phone number into one of my contacts in Outlook 2003, I then receive a "location information" window that asks for country, area code, etc. I do not want to autodial, I simply want to save that info as part of my contact for each individual. I then have to go to task manager and close it out, as it puts it in a loop. I read another posting about this being an XP registry problem, but I was not able to ascertain what the exact solution is. Thank you, Stephen You simply need to set the default dialing location for you operating system so Outlook will know how to format the phone number.

Realizing that I do not want to dial those numbers, just store the numbers in my contact list?

And you can't store it properly until your configure WIndows' dialing options, even if you're not going to dial. SignatureBrian Tillman Thank you Brian. I just do not remember having to do that when I set up other computers. Anyway, appreciate your help. > > I guess what I am saying is I do not want to make a phone/modem > > connection..I just want to store the number. > > And you can't store it properly until your configure WIndows' dialing > options, even if you're not going to dial. |
