Phone#format

[Bill Hepburn]

I've used OL97 forever. Previously, when I entered a phone
number it would autoformat after update of the field like
(@@@) @@@-@@@@. The formatting is really important since I
often print my list for use in the car. Can't read 10
digits run together. I can format myself when inputting
but seems a waste of time since OL should do it.

Under the format column option I only have text available
and it wont let me input another format. What happened and
how can I modify the input format for these fields?

Thanks

Bill

Formatting of phone numbers is automatic as long as your dialing location is
set correctly.

Thanks for the reply. So, where is dialing location
accessed? I couldn't find it in help.
