Auto-format previously entered phone numbers
Hello -
I have many different formats for phone numbers in my contacts, depending upon how I acquired/entered each one. I would like to get all of them in a uniform format so that they are more organized and easier to sort. Right now some of them a (xxx) xxx-xxxx xxxxxxxxxx xxx.xxx.xxxx xxx xxx xxxx +1 (xxx) xxx-xxxx +1 xxx xxx xxxx I would like to find an easy way to change all of the phone numbers to the same format and also make it so any new contacts would automatically take on the same format. Anyone have any suggestions on how to get this done without too much manual input? Thanks! Kim

Ok...I've tried the OutNormalizer, but it does not re-format all numbers to
be the same. It will only get rid of spaces in numbers. The cnet download is only for Russian phone numbers, and the slipstick.com link had 3 choices (OutlookNormalizer, The BIG Number (for British phone numbers), and Phone Number Changer (appears to be script files, but I have no idea what to do with them). Can anyone help me solve this formatting issue? It seems that there has got to be a much simpler way to do this, no?

Try The Big number - its supposed to support formatting changes (which is
why its still available long after the big change). FWIW, I learned a long time ago to ignore the differences- people send me contacts and they are formatted differently. It was not worth the effort to pretty them up. -- Diane Poremsky [MVP - Outlook] Outlook Tips: http://www.outlook-tips.net/ Outlook & Exchange Solutions Center: http://www.slipstick.com Outlook Tips by email: EMO - a weekly newsletter about Outlook and Exchange: Let's Really Fix Outlook 2010 http://forums.slipstick.com/forumdisplay.php?f=34 "Kim" wrote in message ...
