How do I change the format of the phone numbers in Outlook?

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.
2. Set your operating system's dialing location to a null value. Current OS
do not permit you to do this through the GUI.
 
Russ, thank you for the answer but it definitely is not the answer I was
hoping for. It to me is just further proof that Microsoft is determined to
mold all the world's output in their image, controlled by them, and that
stinks.
