Why does Outlook 2003 remove all the plus sign prefixes from my t.

Whenever I try to modify the telephone numbers of a contact in the Contacts
folder, Outlook 2003 will not allow a '+' sign to be prefixed to the numbers
as it did before.

Why is this and is there a fix for it?

Many thanks

Have you configured Outlook to add the country code in Dialing options...?

Hi Russ, Thanks for your swift reply.

I have tried everything I know, (Which isn't much!) but each thing I try,
the program still won't allow me to add the plus sign, which I need to
configure numbers for my mobile phone synchronisation software.

If you have any other ideas, I would be delighted to hear from you again.

Yours, TSM

Can you tell me what you tried?
You reach Outlook's dialing options in Contacts Actions Call Contact
New Call...
Is your dialing location set correctly?

In the Dialling Options dialog box, the only button I have to configure is
the "Dialling Properties" button.
When I press that, it brings up "Phone and Modem Options"
What am I supposed to enter there? It has one entry, "Home" when I click
Edit, the country region is set to UK, correct, and the Area Code to 020,
again correct for London. I can't see anything else that I should change.

I haven't had any problems entering the + sign up until now, but for some
reason, Outlook decided that it didn't like the idea and deletes any plus
sign I now try to enter. I really am perplexed.

You aren't looking where I told you to.
Reread my post.
