MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / August 2006How to dial the extension number automatically?
I have Outlook 2000,Internet Mail Only mode.I want Outlook to automatically dial my contact's number and the extension number,anyone know how to enter the extension number in the phone number box? thanks in advance. Not an Outlook question. Outlook uses the Windows dialer. Consult an OS group about how to create and use dialing rules. Better yet, search the Internet. This information is widely available.

Thank you,Russ.But I think,regardless of the dialing rules,the way must be pre-defined to enter the extension number in the phone number box on the Outlook contact form, e.g. a letter "w" for an outside line,a comma "," for a pause,and what for the extension number?

You can define an extension any way you please in the phone number field of the COntact form. The problem is that the Windows dialer has no provision for controlling a voice modem, so adding modem commands to the phone number is pointless. The Windows dialer expects another modem to answer.

Use software other than Outlook for placing the call. If you have a voice-capable modem, ask the vendor what they suggest. SignatureBrian Tillman |
