Formatting telephone numbers
Hi
Been awhile since I posted here. Yesterday I imported a lot of contacts from people cell phones into Outlook2003 and there are a lot of contacts whose telephone #'s are formatted fine eg (xxx) xxx-xxxx but then others are are just entered as xxxxxxxxxx. I've taken a good look around all the posts and it seems the most common problem is that the local dialing properties are not set properly. I've checked and reset mine and things seem fine - it works for new entries but it will not reformat the ones that are already entered. Any suggestions on how to break apart the xxxxxxxxxx back to (xxx) xxx-xxxx? -----= Posted via Newsfeeds.Com, Uncensored Usenet News =----- http://www.newsfeeds.com - The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! -----== Over 100,000 Newsgroups - 19 Different Servers! =----- |

Formatting telephone numbers
None of these settings will affect existing Contacts and frequently they
will not apply to Contacts that are imported. There is no native way to back such a global change in Outlook. Many people just export to Excel, use Find and Replace to make the change, and then reimport to Outlook. I've never tried it myself. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "TwoJ" wrote in message ...
