How can I standardize th format of all phone numbers in Contac
No way I know of unless someone has written code to do this.
Phone number formats are of so little consequence that I doubt anyone has. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "SJKopischke" wrote in message ... "Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook]" wrote: How do new Contact Records appear? Just fine. "Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook]" wrote: Existing ones won't be affected. Oh.... Please pardon my lack of clarity from the beginning on this topic. I am seeking a way to address the existing records without having to manually edit every one. What are my options?

OK. At this point I will settle - barely - for all phone numbers to appear with the same format. I have correctly set the default dialing location in the OS. I continue to have telephone numbers in Outlook Contacts appear in the following formats: ###.###.#### (###) ###-#### ###-###-#### Recently I noticed that a few of the phone numbers in my Contacts folders did not have the country code on them. All I did was double-click each and Outlook repaired the masking. -- Brian Tillman

However, since all of my contacts are in the United States, I wish there were a way to configure phone numbers the way I want them, rather than the format that Microsoft believes to be the one true way according to my location.... I have downloaded the utility you mentioned in an earlier post. I will let you know if it does the trick. Thanks for the suggestion.

It's not "Microsoft's" way. It's the International dialing standard's way. -- Brian Tillman

I'm not going to be tested (*am I*?) on how my phone numbers appear in my Contacts list. The utility does not seem to work. It looks like I am going to have to go through each contact separately and edit the numbers. Drat.
