I am having an issue that I want to make sure that I am not missing something

In outlook 2010, when I add new contact, when entering the phone number i would enter XXX-XXXX and it would automatically add the area code so it would show up as (YYY)XXX-XXXX

But in Outlook 2013 it does not seem to do that anymore it just does XXX-XXXX

Is this a bug or by design. And if it is by design is there an option somewhere to enable it to automatically add the area code either by a setting in outlook or registry?

Some of the searches if found is to make sure that the telephony settings are correct which they are, as this is happening on a machine that previous had outlook 2010(office 2010) and it did it automatically and we upgraded to outlook 2013 (office 2013)

Thanks

well if there is no toggle option, i guess there is not much we can do.

it is odd that they removed this as it was in 2007 and 2010.

Sorry for the inconvenience caused. Although revisions cannot be made to the application, your feedback is appreciated.

Thanks,
