Phone number autoformat

The Outlook 2000 auto format of phone numbers is an extremely painful item.
It does not work well for international dialing - I would like to store the
numbers and display them as entered.

I.e. India is dialed 011-91-33-12345-67890. Outlook stores as +91
011-91-33-12345-6790 or some other equally bad jumble. I don't want or need
the help - if I enter 011-91-33-12345-67890 that's how I want it to appear.

How do I kill this AUtoformat nonsense Bill and his boys assume you want
even if it doesn't work?

It does work if you've correctly defined your Windows dialing properties.
