MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / March 2006Dialing Properties Misssing
WinXP/OL 2003 both with latest updates Outlook stopped showing the phone numbers in its usual format. The Help says: 1.. In Contacts, on the Actions menu, point to Call Contact, and then click New Call. 2.. Click Dialling Options, and then click Line Properties. 3.. On the General, Connection, and Options tabs, select the modem and connection options you want. I cannot find the Dialling Options under a New Call. Why did it disappear and how do I get it back? I already did do the Office Repair and made sure my area code is entered in the Control Panel/Phone... What else? Thank you. State the actual path you are using. So far you are the only one who has ever reported a missing "Dialing Options" from the New Call dialog. I suspect user error.

I am not sure I understand what you mean by "path". As I type this I am also doing it, and as I did I found the mistake I was making. I kept clicking a New Contact instead. In Dialing Properties, Canada and my area code is selected. Dialing Options have three options for Line Properties. The first one is my modem and the other IPCONF LINE and H323 Line. The last two cannot be configured. When I click on Line Properties when my modem is selected, I get General tab where in Call preferences is 60 secs for Cancel the call ..., and in Data Connection Preferences: Port Speed-115200,Data Protocol- Standard EC, Compression-Enabled, Flow Control-Hardware. Under Advanced tab the first two are unchecked and Hardware settings: 8,None,1. I rebooted and the number I enter for a new contact is still not configured properly. What have I overlooked this time. Sorry for my denseness, I appreciate your patience. thanks. > State the actual path you are using. > So far you are the only one who has ever reported a missing "Dialing [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > > Line Your line properties have nothing to do with this.
