dialer not following rules for 800, 877, 866..number

[MirrorOnTheWall]

I have outlook 2007, and I found that the dialer doesn't work as it should
for the 800 numbers. Basically, I want it to skip using long distance rules
fo 800, 866 ,..,as specified in my area code rules. Still, it treats it as a
long distance number and calls my long distance carrier before dialing the
800 number.

I know I can add a comma in front to bypass any rule. However, it's a
hassle. Besides, if it's a ms fax program, then I can't add a comma in front.

Not an Outlook question. Outlook is not in play here. Only the Windows
dialer is. You need to ask about how to create dialing rules in a group that
supports Windows telephony.
