Goddamn I hate looking for answers sometimes.  Mostly I love it, but sometimes it's Microsoft.

Currently for a contact, it changes (frex) '555-444-1212' to '(555) 444-1212'.  I want it to not do that.  How do I get Outlook to stop autoformatting numbers?

I think I'd have to change the country I'm in.  What the SHIT.

Looks like you might be able to force it to behave if you pad your numbers to something other than 7, 10, 11, or 13 digits. Of course that's probably worse than the autoformatting. Is there a reson to avoid the autoformatting beyond that you don't like it?

Mainly, the reason was that the customer didn't like that formatting, and wanted something different.  It's low-priority for them, but MUST KNOW for me, so.
