MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / December 2003Edit local phone number is contacts
I have recently added a new contact with a local number. However Outlook 2000 added the internet connection phone number as the area code. I have deleted the contact and shutdown and restarted and when I again add the contact with that phone number it does the same thing. I have read that help but have not found where to delete area code for local phone numbers with this exchange. Help! You can't change the way Outlook masks phone numbers. It is hard coded.

I want this number in: 344-1234 What I keep getting is: (3793650) 344-1234 The number in () is my internet server number. No idea how it got there but there it is. I have deleted the entire contact and shutdown the computer. However when I re-enter the number it comes back. There must be a way to get rid of this mistake. Help!! Sounds like your dialing location is not set correctly. Check it.
