Try The Big number - its supposed to support formatting changes (which is
why its still available long after the big change).

FWIW, I learned a long time ago to ignore the differences- people send me
contacts and they are formatted differently. It was not worth the effort to
pretty them up.

Ok...I've tried the OutNormalizer, but it does not re-format all numbers
to
be the same. It will only get rid of spaces in numbers.
The cnet download is only for Russian phone numbers, and the slipstick.com
link had 3 choices (OutlookNormalizer, The BIG Number (for British phone
numbers), and Phone Number Changer (appears to be script files, but I have
no
idea what to do with them).
Can anyone help me solve this formatting issue? It seems that there has
got
to be a much simpler way to do this, no?
Thanks,
Kim

I would like to find an easy way to change all of the phone numbers to
the
same format and also make it so any new contacts would automatically
take
on
the same format. Anyone have any suggestions on how to get this done
without
too much manual input?

You'll need a third-party tool. This one might help:
