Fax dials only ten digits

[Herman Curtis]

I am using Win XP home. When I try to send a fax only ten
digits are dialed. 1(800)551-4321 is dialed 1800551432.
[These are fake numbers!] It does this with either pulse
or tone dialing. I tried reentering the last four digits
and it dialed them - but it left out the '1' in the middle
of the string, still dialing only ten digits. I am using
the address book. What am I doing wrong?

You must store your fax numbers in international format, then have a dialing
rule configured to specify how you want numbers dialed.

I have entered the number in international format and
several other ways. Dialing rules set to dial 1 + area
code. It consistently leaves out the '1' at the end of the
prefix but if I change the prefix to '552-' it dials
the '2' and truncates the final digit. It does this
whether I use the address book or type in the number.
Maybe something in Outlook needs to be changed? I THINK I
am doing everything right but ...

Can't tell from here.
Verify your Fax software and Outlook version.
Verify the format of the number in the fax field.
State how you are sending the fax.
Specify your dialing rule.

I'm not at home now so can't give specific version of
Outlook but it came with Win XP installed March(?) 2004.
The number format is +1(nnn)nnn-nnnn (no spaces).
I have tried dragging a scanned document to the fax
printer, sending a note from Notepad (File..Print..), etc.
I have used the address book and I have typed the number
in manually. Dialing rule: dial 1 + area code for numbers
in and out of my area.

Oops! I meant Microsoft Office 2000.
Anyway, I don't think Outlook is involved.
Is there some setting anywhere that I can change to get
all eleven digits?

The information I posted works for everyone else, so if you followed it the
problem is likely to be with your configuration of the dialing rule. You're
the only one who can check your dialing rule settings to see if they are
correct.

I enter the number in international format +1(nnn)nnn-
nnnn. I must dial 1+area code for long distance so I have
dialing rules dial 1+area code. What else is there to do?

Post the exact syntax of the rule and your operating system. You've missed
something. Did you, for example, make sure that the right prefixes are
specified?
