"No more" means what exactly?
Once you set your dialing location correctly for your operating system,
Outlook will mask the phone number.

In Outlook 2003, fully updated: Recently, I had to reinstall Win XP - the
entire PC, including Office 2003. Previously, when entering new contact
info, Outlook would default to the typical U.S. tel number format of (202)
123-4567 and would enter the parentheses, dash and space once the user
moved
to the next field. No more, since the reinstall. The XP dialing setup is
set with the local U.S. area code. What am I missing?

THANKS!
