Phone Number Display formatting

R

RCS

Is there a way to change the default formatting of phone numbers from (xxx)
xxx-xxxx to xxx.xxx.xxxx ?

I'm looking for the option that does not require altering the program.

Thanks

How Outlook masks phone numbers is based on your dialing location. It is
hard coded and cannot be changed. The only ways I know of to prevent
Outlook's masking of phone numbers are:
1. Enclose the phone numbers in quotes or commas.
2. Set your operating system's dialing location to a null value. Current OS
do not permit you to do this through the GUI, so you'd have to edit the
registry. .
