You can export to Excel and set the column formatting to accomplish what you
want, then import them back to Outlook.

Hi,
Can anyone tell me if it is possible to carry out a batch update of
contacts.
I have over 2000 contacts and would like to format their telephone
numbers.
At the moment all the nember are in the format 09999 999999 I need to
format them using +44(0)9999 999999
can this be done as a batch?
Regards
John
