Outlook uses your default dialing location for your OS to format numbers, so
I'd start by checking that setting.

Something quite odd has happened. Suddenly, all of the telephone numbers
in my contact list are one long number rather than the area code being in
parentheses and a dash inserted after the first three digits of the phone
number. Even if I try to change the entry, it reverts back to one long
nunber. Any idea what's happening and/or how to correct it ?
