Outlook 2007 contact form - telephone number auto-formatting
Outlook provides no built-in way to alter the autoformatting of a phone number field. You would need to write VBA code, an add-in, or code behind a custom form to run either when the item is saved (Item.Write event) or as each property changes (Item.PropertyChange event) in order to (a) prefix the phone number with some character (in order to bypass the built-in formatting) and (b) parse the number to make your other formatting change -- all of this for the 16 phone number fields.

Outlook 2007 contact form - telephone number auto-formatting
I hear what you are saying, but how can you explain two Outlooks in my office one of which formats numbers as +1 (212) 555-1212 and the other as (212) 555-1212?
It doesn't make any sense. I did not install anything to do it outright, is there a way to check for some code?

It may make more sense if you look at both users' settings in the Dialing Options dialog. From any contact, click the Call command to open the New Call dialog, then click Dialing Options. You should see a check box for "Automatically add country/region code to local phone numbers."
