I have a similar problem.

I live in japan and the telephone system here does not recognize the +. So
if I dial a +nn, I get a message from the telephone company telling me use
the correct number for international calls, which is different for every
company. So, intead of dialing +44, I should 0046010 (specific for my
telehpne carrier).. GO FIGURE WHY Japan does not recognize it...

Anyways, fot his reason i have do duplicate my data base, one entry will
contain phone numbers with the standar format +nn, and another with the code
used only in Japan 0046010

The problem i have is, that when i import the EXCEL file into my Outlok
2007, the phone entries originally 0046010, will become +0046010...

So Outlook is recoignizing the 00 in front of the file, and it adds the +. I
have added spaces before the 0045010, but still whne I import, the result is
+0046010.

The question is... How can I stop Outlook 2007 to edit the phone numbers
that start with 00, and changing them into +00.

Thank in Advance
