Outlook Faxing

[Guest]

When we try to use the fax number in outlook 2003 it adds a +1 in front of
the fax number, even for the area code we are in. How do we supress that
from showing up?

You shouldn't. Instead you should configure your dialing rules correctly.
The country code is necessary to invoke your dialing rules.

but we cannot call within our area codes with the +1 in front. We figured
out that we can put a comma in front of the number for and it works, but that
seems like a pretty lame fix.

We tried that and it is not applying; apparently it is a limitation of our
faxing software, it's not picking up the dialing rules. Thanks for your help

Which Fax software is it? I assumed you were referring to the ones with
which Outlook was designed to integrate. The Windows Fax services will
invoke dialing rules whenever the country code is present in the number:
