I have outlook 2007, and I found that the dialer doesn't work as it should
for the 800 numbers.   Basically, I want it to skip using long distance rules
fo 800, 866 ,..,as specified in my area code rules.  Still, it treats it as a
long distance number and calls my long distance carrier before dialing the
800 number.

I know I can add a comma in front  to bypass any rule.  However, it's a
hassle.  Besides, if it's a ms fax program, then I can't add a comma in front.
