The sync software works fine - it inports the phone numbers (and added
characters)into the cell phone accurately. It is the cell phone and me that
have problems with the added characters. I personnally don't like the the
format and I woulld like to be able to change it even if it didn' cause
problems in my cell phone. Why does there have to be a unchangeable format
for phone numbers? Is there any possible way to change the format or fake
outlook out?

As I thought. Your problem is with your synchronization software, not
Outlook. Outlook cannot vary its format because it must present a consistent
interface to the myriad programs that would attempt to synch with it.

When I bluetooth the phone numbers to my cell phone the "(" and ")" and
"-"
are unwanted and cause problems. Why can't I decide for myself how I want
my
phone numbers formatted.

You can't. Masking of phone numbers is hard coded. I've never encountered
a
need to change the format. What makes you think you need to?

How do I change the way phone numbers are formatted in contacts?
