How do I remove the parenthesis in my Contact of Outlook
How do I remove the parenthesis from the area code of the telephone numbers
in my Contact in Outlook. I noticed that about 5% of my entries do not have parenthesis, while the remaining 95% do. I am unsure how this occurred. Every since I made this observation, when I enter an area code of a telephone #, the parenthesis automatically appear. I want to remove them. |

How do I remove the parenthesis in my Contact of Outlook
Just leave them alone. It's a quirk and really doesn't make any difference
to the useability of Outlook. I know it looks messy - all of ours do too. "Trisha" wrote in message ...

How do I remove the parenthesis in my Contact of Outlook
I want them removed. When I transfer my contact to my Palm 700 and load it
into my car. My car does not recognize the parenthesis; therefore, it is unable to dial the telephone number from my contact list.

I need to do this to sync outlook with my phone. Some options are 1) Delete anything under: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Telephony\Locations eg, location1. However, this will cause a modal dialogue to appear if you attempt to edit a contact's number in outlook, which you will then be required to complete, bringing back the parentheses. May also break your dialing setup/modem etc 2. Create a new location with an areacode that is the length of the longest number in your contacts eg, for a 10 digit number use 1111111111 (you could also do this by editing a "locationX" key in the registry as per above). Set your contacts to use this as the location (perhaps save under a differnt country to identify). The new location will happily coexist with your others. HTH |
