MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / August 2004Telephone Number Formats
Is it possible to enter an extended tel. Number? I have a complex string of numbers, pauses, #-sign to retrieve messages on the answering service. rs Yes, you can type whatever you want into the phone fields.

I should have added that I want the dialer to include all that stuff. Probably Outlook does not provide for pauses and special keys. Anyway, the dialer only transmits the 7-digit phone number. rs > Yes, you can type whatever you want into the phone fields. > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com). > > Version: 6.0.732 / Virus Database: 486 - Release Date: 7/29/2004 The dialer should respect commas for pauses. I don't know about the # signs.

The # works. All is well. I was using "p" as on my telephone memory. Now, I just spent 45 minutes alone with the help system and I swear, there is nothing in there about pauses, commas, whatever. Without you and the other patient MVPs how would a body know? rs > The dialer should respect commas for pauses.

Naturally it failed. Now, if you're suggesting I try all the letters and symbols to find which one is the pause, well, that seems like a good place for the Help Team to step in. rs |
