It looks like maybe an update to xp did it. I booted a virtual machine with
2007 and XP and the numbers are not formatting but if I type them in using
brackets etc, the format is not removed unless I press the button to check
the number.
Try changing the location to something else, applying then changing it back
to the US or retype the area code. That seemed to make it work for me.

To confirm - the phone number is not correctly formatted ( in (212)
555-1212 format) in an open contact as well in list views in the folder.

United States 818 and yes, I do have to remove the +1

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 ?
