Auto Formatting telephone number fields

S

Shoe

I just got a new work notebook computer with Outlook 2003 under Windows
Professional XP. I transferred my contacts to the new notebook computer.
However, using my old notebook, I could enter a new contact and when I moved
to the telephone fields, I could just enter a number such as 5123125555 and
after I moved to the next field, it would automatically be formatted as (512)
312-5555. However, on the new notebook, it does not format the field. I
have tried everything I can think of to get this to format automatically, but
I can't get it to do that. How do I get it to format that field?
