How to change phone # format in Outlook contacts?

[Guest]

I need to change the Outlook 2003 phone number format from displaying (and
saving) as (999) 999-9999, and instead have it displayed and saved as
999-999-9999 or 999 999 9999 (would be even better).

Not possible. Masking of phone numbers is hard coded.
