(xxx) xxx-xxx or 1-xxx-xxx-xxxx plus entering a foriegn country and an
extention please? The company I started working at has several differant ways
and I want to change to correct format.

Outlook will mask the number to the correct format for you no matter how you
enter it.
 
Hi, Russ - when I enter a fa number in contacts in canonical format, Outlook
changes to +1 (000)-000-0000.
: How can I cahnge that?
Also, standard international (canonical) format is always recommended for
fax numbers:

Why would want you change it? Outlook is doing what it should. That is
canonical format and is the format fax and all other dialers need in order
to dial correctly and to process dialing rules correctly. Any other format
would be wrong.
