Re: Area Code Auto Format...

Can this be turned off? I did some research and so far did not surface a way to allow me to enter the following format:
111-111-1111.

Help!
Try reversing these options in Outlook and make sure that the PC amends contacts on ppc and not the other way round.

Add the country code to numbers you enter
  1. Click Contacts .
  2. On the Actions menu, point to Call Contact, and then click New Call.
  3. Click Dialing Options.
  4. Select the Automatically add country code to local phone numbers check box.
  5. The country code added is for the country specified in the Country/region list on the General tab of the Edit Location dialog box (in the New Call dialog box, click Dialing Properties, and then click Edit).

Note If the Automatically add country code to local phone numbers check box is not available, Microsoft Outlook doesn't recognize the phone number format for the specified country code and cannot automatically format phone numbers.
