Is it possible to enter an extended tel. Number? I have a complex string of
numbers, pauses, #-sign to retrieve messages on the answering service.

Thanks, Sue. I should have added that I want the dialer to include all that
stuff. Probably Outlook does not provide for pauses and special keys. Anyway,
the dialer only transmits the 7-digit phone number.

The dialer should respect commas for pauses. I don't know about the # signs.

I'll be durned. Commas work. The # works. All is well. I was using "p" as on my
telephone memory.

Now, I just spent 45 minutes alone with the help system and I swear, there is
nothing in there about pauses, commas, whatever. Without you and the other
patient MVPs how would a body know?

Simple: Just try it.

Not to beat the ol' horse, but I did try it -- using "p" instead of ",".
Naturally it failed. Now, if you're suggesting I try all the letters and symbols
to find which one is the pause, well, that seems like a good place for the Help
Team to step in.
