Can you change the telephone number auto-format styles?

Is there any way of changing the auto-format styles in Entourage? The
options built in are not suitable for what I need.

Thanks in advance for any information on this.

You did look in the 'Address Book' section of the Entourage preferences,
didn't you?

There is the ability to set the format or prevent auto-format entirely in
there.

Hi Barry,

I have selected the the auto format in the Address Book section of
Preferences, however, mine never auto-format. On my office PC, when
creating a new contact, I just type in the 10 digit phone number and
when I move to the next block, the number formats itself. That doesn't
happen here, its like I don't have anything selected at all. Is there
an additional setting I'm supposed to use that I may be missing here?

What I want to do is change the auto-formats that are inbuilt to the program
and define my own in their place. I want "(12) 3456 7890" and "1234 567 890"
as formats. I can do this in Apple Mail and want to do the same in
Entourage.

Sorry, I mis-understood you.

No, those formats are fixed - you can't change them :(

You can send feedback to the developers on this issue. Use the last menu
item under the 'Help' menu - "Send Feedback on Entourage". This message will
go directly to the developers. The more people that request this feature the
more likely it is to be implemented.
