Automatic expansion of phone numbers entered

[Dick Benton]

Previously (although I don't know "before what") when I entered a phone
number with no spaces, Outlook automatically expanded it, and, if I put in
only seven numbers, put my default area code in front in parens. It's stopped
doing that, and I can't find any option anywhere.

That's controlled by the Windows Modem and Dialing properties.

Further research indicates function is known as "Intellisense"--also, may
have started after installing IE 7--I'm going to try uninstalling it

Doubtful. It should be the dialing properties in control panel doing it.

Thanks for your help--unfortunately, as I told Brian, I couldn't find
anything there that worked. But you're right--uninstalling IE 7 didn't do it!
