Form Field - Telephone Number

[MB]

Hello

I'm creating a form using tables and the Form toolbar.
How do I format a field for telephone number input? The
user will need to input the area code and 7-digit number.
The input mask for Access is !\(999")"000\-0000
(or something like that). Can I do the same in a Word
form?

Thanks for your help.

Yes. The mask I use is ###-###-#### (in case it's not clear, those are
hyphens between the hashes). You put that in the "Number format" box in the
Form Field Options dialog.
