G Guest May 8, 2006 #1 I need to change from the standard to periods in phone numbers, e.g 973.625.7721 instead of (973) 625-7721. Thanks

D Donna in Idaho May 8, 2006 #3 Which brings up a questioin - why are we all of a sudden seeing phone numbers written with periods instead of dashes? I've seen that in lots of ads, correspondence, etc., and can't see the point. What was wrong with the 'old-fashioned' dashes? Donna
