I recently upgraded to Office 2003 from Office 2000. Now, in Outlook 2003,
newly entered phone numbers aren't autoformating with the parentheses around
the area code. Was the autoformat feature removed for Outlook 2003? If not,
then how do I get it to autoformat the phone numbers?

Nothing has changed. You must have changed more than just your Outlook
version.
Make sure you default dialing location is specified for your operating
system.
