Is there a "find and replace" option for the contact list? sure would make
the task easier than hving to go into each of the 700+ entries to add
parenthesees.

Use a table view (like by categories) with in-cell editing enabled - then
you can edit the phone # without opening the contact.

I think that might have done the trick for new and corrected entries ...
.however I now still have to go through and change all of the previous
entries. Ugh !

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.

Correct

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
"Diane Poremsky [MVP]" wrote in message

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?
"Diane Poremsky [MVP]" wrote in message

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 ?
