MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / November 2006Parens in Outlook Contacts Phone Field - Automatic Formatting
My company was just acquired and my laptop re-imaged. In the move I lost the ability to have Outlook contacts automatically format the phone number field (US only). Previouly I could enter 1234567890 and it would automatically convert to (123) 456-7890 on exiting the field. Can anyone help? Please check your settings in the systemsettings in the applet "Telephone- and Modemoptions".
