Default How do I use periods in contact phone numbers

Which brings up a questioin - why are we all of a sudden seeing phone
numbers written with periods instead of dashes? I've seen that in lots of
ads, correspondence, etc., and can't see the point. What was wrong with the
'old-fashioned' dashes?

Can't be done. Outlook's formatting of phone numbers is hard-coded. I
can't think of any dialers that would appreciate the periods anyway.
