Registry hack to avoid Outlook 2003 "intellisense" import feature
Problem:
Outlook imports contacts randomly - my specific problem is: the "+" Sometimes +61 6565465 becomes 61 6565465 - ie the + magically disappears. Extremely annoying and happens in most sync programs - Symbian OS - Windows Mobile 2003, 2005 etc - ie ALL I ever used. Explanation: Outlook 2000/XP/2003 offers a certain degree of "intellisense" formatting, a Microsoft feature. This means that when you type a number in the field (or when Plaxo/Sony/etc updates or inserts a value in the field), Outlook tries to determine the correct format for that telephone number by parsing the appropriate characters. To date, Microsoft does not provide a method to prevent this feature from reformatting telephone numbers. Do anyone have a solution for this? I just want to turn this useless feature off! And I would happily pay for it!
