I have it formatted as text but can't find a way to format the blank as
anything else.

The parentheses and dash should not be a problem for most dialers, which are
designed to ignore non-numeric characters. I suspect there is some other
issue with the way you have your phone numbers formatted. If you state how
you have your numbers formatted, with examples, there's probably a solution.

I am trying to use an SMS program that will allow me to send SMS messages
from my Outlook Contacts. However, when Outlook saves a phone number, it
automatically puts parenthesis around the area code and a hyphen between the
prefix and suffix. These characters are not read by the SMS plugin and
causes the numbers to be invalid. How can I get Outlook to save the numbers
just the way I type them in, I.E. 1234567890? Thanks
