Adding the 1 in front after viewing the phone # means the telephony service
is working correctly - you do want to avoid clicking that button though,
otherwise you'll need to remove the +1's.

What country/region is set in phone and modem options? Double click on the
location in the Phone and modem options dialog - the default location is
usually called My Location. What are you using for the Country/region?

No, but when the Check Phone Number box appears the area code is in the
right place, as is the phone number....then, when I close the box, the
phone number appears correctly except that it has a +1 in front of it !

Finally had a chance to check the control panel. NOTHING looks different
in the dialing properties. Any other clues as to why/how my contact
phone numbers are changing?

Was it changed to a different location? I doubt it changed this by
itself, but since its something that you set once and forget about, it
would be easy to change it, then not notice anything amiss for weeks or
months.

Using Outlook 2007 on Windows XP Pro computer. Something quite odd
has happened. Suddenly, all of the telephone numbers in my contact
list are one long number (xxxxxxxxxx) rather than the area code
being in parentheses and a dash inserted after the first three
digits of the phone number ((xxx)xxx-xxxx). 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 ?
