Automatic area code insertion in Outlook.
You can't. Masking of phone numbers is hard coded and based on your default
dialing location. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "V" wrote in message ... Outlook should NOT Automatically insert area codes in contacts!!!

Automatic area code insertion in Outlook.
Russ, I am using XP Professional and Outlook 2003 (with BCM). For the last
year or so I have been entering phone numbers without the STD codes, which is exactly how I like it. However, following a hard disk failure and having to reload all my software, I now always get those blasted STD codes in parenthesis. There is obviously a way of avoiding them as I had been doing it for ages, but can't remember how! Can you help? "Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook]" wrote: You can't.

Automatic area code insertion in Outlook.
Just to add to my last message, when I restored my BCM database, all the
phone numbers are as I had always entered them - i.e. without STD codes. When I add a new number, it now has the codes. "Campbell" wrote: Russ, I am using XP Professional and Outlook 2003 (with BCM).

Outlook does this by default. The behavior cannot be changd. The previous
behavior is an anomaly that so far only you have produced, so you will need to provide the steps to reproduce it. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Campbell" wrote in message ...

When you configure your dialing properties in Windows Control Panel, you initiate Outlook's masking of phone numbers. Apparently you did not have dialing properties defined before and now you do. -- Brian Tillman

However, failing to set a dialing location in the OS is not a solution for
preventing masking. In most instance that just hangs Outlook during new Contact creation. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Brian Tillman" wrote in message ...
