I have imported my Act 2000 database into Outlook 2003 to begin my

I bulk format all existing phone number fileds to read only (xxx)
555-1212??

See if this helps:
While viewing Contacts, click ActionsCall ContactNew Call. Click Dialing
Options and uncheck "Automatically add country code to local phone numbers".
I don't believe that will affect numbers already formatted with the country
code, but it should supporess future addition. However, the coutry code is
proper and there should be no issue with leaving it. It is canonical.

You can use this tool to remove existing country codes if you wish:
