I enter my phone numbers in the format (000) 000-000. In the process
of syncing with my phone, all the formatting was stripped in the
Outlook entries, so they look like 0000000000. Is there a utility
that will let me do a global format of the phone numbers back to (000)
000-0000? (or 000-000-0000 would be OK too.)

Thanks,

Nolo

You might see if any of the samples at
http://www.slipstick.com/addins/contacts.htm for changing area codes can
help. Otherwise, you might export to Excel, do a global format, then
reimport. Or write your own code.
