Telephone Number Format Change in Outlook 2000

J

Jorge Estrada

This is my first time using this, I hope I did this right. I am using outlook
2000 and windows xp on a compaQ presario r300. Using the auto dialer with my
phone line directly hooded up to the compute. When the pphone is dialed and I
hit the talk button, i cannot hear anything. The phone still seems to be
connected but I cannot talk or hear what they are saying on the other end. I
am using a usb connected mic/headphone system. I can hear music on it, so I
know the USB connection is working
--
New to me.

Everything there is set up property with location and area code. I even
deleted the entry and created another one with no success.

Make sure your dialing location is set correctly.

Where do I find "Autodialer?" It's not in Outlook 2007. I am using
Windows
XP Pro and I cannot find it there either.

RESOLUTION:
Click AutoDialer, and then click Dialing Properties.
2. In the I am dialing from section, click Remove. Repeat this step to
remove all dialing properties locations.
3. Click New, type the country or region and area code that you want, make
any other changes that are necessary for your location, and then click OK.

Still applies.

I checked out the post but it applies to Outlook 2003 and earlier. I am
using Outlook 2007.

The only documented cause for this behavior has already been posted:

I am using Outlook 2007. The auto-format feature xxxxxxxxxx to (xxx)
xxx-xxxx was working fine. Then suddenly it stopped. My location
and
area
code are set properly. I did not add any new software (other than
Microsoft
Windows auto-update). I have tried everything to get the feature to
work
again, and everything has failed.

:

See if your dialing location is set correctly.
If it is, Outlook will mask phone numbers automatically.

For years I have been using Outlook Contacts. When Phone numbers
are
entered, regardless of the format, Outlook converted the numbers
into
a
(404) 999-9999 format and a standard font. Now, for some reason, my
installation of Outlook 2000 no longer changes the t/n into that
format
and
font. It accepts any format unchanged. I would very muck like to
have
it
continue to with the original formatting, but I have not been able
to
discover any way to chenge it. Anyone got any ideas??

You need to either pick up the telephone hand set or get a headset to use with the telephone.
