Phone number format
How can you stop Outlook from automatically format an area code with
parentheses? I want to use a hyphen instead. Outlook 2003

You can't. Masking of phone numbers in Outlook is hard coded.

Russ, thanks for your response.
Any idea why it does allow me to hyphenate the area code on Outlook 2003 on my work computer, but doesn't allow my secretary to do it on hers (same version), and doesn't allow me to do it on my home version?

It's certainly not be design. On some versions, if your default dialing
location is not set correctly, the automatic masking is not applied. It's not a recommended workaround, however, because Outlook will eventually start nagging you incessantly if you don't set a default dialing location. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Beardoggy" wrote in message ...
