OL 2003:
some phone numbers (in contacts) have "+1" added before the area code, some
do not. this is true even for area codes that are not local.

i have tried the phone number settings, but + is not allowed as a symbol.

is there a way to tell outlook to add "+1" to all area codes, both for those
currently entered? and for new ones?

Did you import any of these contacts?

You might want to see if this tool helps the problem:

Only for new ones (in Outlook's Dialing options dialog: Contacts > Actions >
Call Contact > New call...)

thank you. i had been trying to add "+1" to various of the fields in dialing
options, and it kept disallowing the "+". this time i noticed the "add
country code to local number" check box and tried that. did the trick. added
+ and 1 for me.

Bear in mind that +1 is the international code for North America -- other
places have different codes.
