Default Access Labels Maker Doesn't Work

Can you post the phone control's source?
Is it just a field? OR is it something like
="Home Phone" & [Home Phone]

I suspect that you have a display format that shows the phone number fields
with the formatting you see (very possibly the format is set at the table
field level). The actual value being stored is 1234567890.

The telephone numbers appear in the format I prefer "(000) 000-0000"

a standard Avery label using the Access Label Wizard. I want up to three
telephone numbers to appear on one line on the label i.e. the fields a
Home Phone, Work Phone, and Cell Phone. If the phone numbers are already
formatted the way I want them and appear correctly elsewhere why does
selecting them for use in a labels report cause this problem? They appear as:
