I would be much obliged if an automatic solution could be provided.

I would suggest you post details of your problem to a more appropriate
newsgroup, either one supporting Outlook or one supporting Windows Mobile
rather than the Win Me newsgroups.

I think it has to do something with win ME : It's because it
interpretes incorrectly the phone number so formatted by outlook
which by incident is also an MS product. I find it strange, MS
automatically formats in outlook phonenumber that way but doesn't
parse it correctly in it's PDA counterpart. The problem in my case is
that I have about 1000 phonenumbers to correct in a way that outlook
doens't really like. Is there no other way to, for instance while
synchronising, so that these numbers are adjusted in such a way so
as to be useable to dial with it? Is it possible to adjust win ME to
automatically alter the format so as to make it useable?
