Starting from Outlook 2013, when I enter 10 digit number in Contacts, it auto formats to US regional numbering scheme. These contacts are synced to my Android phone through Exchange Server. Unfortunately I am not in US and unfortunately cell numbers in my country are 10 digits too. Below is print screen showing auto formatting getting kicked off when it thinks it is US number. To save from this hassle, I have been entering new numbers in my phone and those numbers when gets synced through Exchange to Outlook are not formatted.
Yes my PC regional settings are set to US. This because I cannot stand nitty gritty things like Time/Date/Currency/Keyboard appearing in other formats.
I would just like to disable auto formatting for contact numbers in Outlook 2013.
