Default Automatic Formatting of Phone Numbers

How do I set up Outlook so as not to get the auto-formatting of the +1 long
distance code in front of all my telephone numbers? My mobile doesn't require
these and I'm having to take them out of every number I place in my computer.

It may not require them, but it should handle them. It's part of the
telephony standards and should be acceptable to any device. The phone
switches can distinguish a local number even when long distance format is
used.
