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
