How to set area code in Outlook 2003

Any time I started up previous version of outlook and started to enter a
phone number it would prompt me to input my local area code and from then on
it would put it in for me when i typed 7 digit phone number. I just started
2003 and it never asked...noor seems to care. If I enter a 7 digit phone
number it just leaves it that way. Any way of telling it where I live and
telling it to enter area code automatically...like the old days?

Thanks

I was making no point, just asking a question, which is probably stupid.
Nevertheless, it is something which concerns me, since I use a Cable modem.
Could making changes in Phone and Modem settings make the dialer think there
is a reason to try to start dialing out?

I do want my phone numbers properly formatted, but I don't want strange
things happening over which I have no control.

I see. Well as far as I know, the operating system will still let you set a
default dialing location even if you don't have a modem actively set up to
dial. I have no systems without modems to test, but you can ask in a group
supporting your operating system.

Russ is there somewhere that you can reccomend for me to learn how to set
dialling properties.

I haven't been able to find a way for it to dial 0011 (international access
code from australia) whenever it sees a '+' symbol

in fact all of the dialing rules seem to be based on area codes, which seems
silly, especially when dialling the usa with 3 digit dialling codes.


Cheers,

I've never worked with them myself. They are an operating system function,
so you might search the groups that support your OS.

Hi Brian,
thanks for your reply, i know how to find the dialling rules configurations,
I dont know how to tell it whenever it see a '+' symbol to diall 0011

as my international number are +-61-2-9599-2223

which means dial 0011-2-9599-2223

the reason the numbers are stored this way is for synchronisation with my
handheld phone which the entire gsm network interprets + as meaning
international access code.

any thoughts?

Cheers,
Dean
