After checking the dialing properties of both Outlook 2003 and the OS Windows
XP and verifying that they indeed are set to United States, I still cannot
get Outlook to properly format my telephone numbers from a string of text
1234567890 to (123) 456-7890. Please help!!

Have you set the local area code?
 
Brian,

You are my hero. In the Control Settings, "Phone & Modem" dialog box, my
"area code" was set to "1". When I changed it to a three-digit area code
(like "212") the US auto-formatting (xxx) xxx-xxxx started immediately.

Thank you so much!!
John
