Guest Paul [MVP] Posted December 12, 2002 Report Share Posted December 12, 2002 Got all your contacts stored in Outlook with 0 instead of +44? SMS senders not showing up correctly? Well, here is a quick application you can use to fix them :D Even if you are already +44'ed up, it'll format your contacts nicely. Of course, use is at your own risk, yada yada, make sure you have a backup before you use it. As always, suggestions welcome.

Guest jpr Posted December 13, 2002 Report Share Posted December 13, 2002 Paul, Any idea what this will do to my international numbers ie. +1 etc? I also use these numbers to send SMS and to make calls. Thanks JR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Paul [MVP] Posted December 13, 2002 Report Share Posted December 13, 2002 If numbers don't begin 0x or +44, then it will ignore them. P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anasazi Posted December 13, 2002 Report Share Posted December 13, 2002 Hi Paul ... here a poor french guy who will love ur soft... if it reformats his contacts wih the franch international ID that is +33 ehe :D thank u !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Fuchikoma Posted December 13, 2002 Report Share Posted December 13, 2002 Am I right to assume that it also removes spaces between numbers? Very useful indeed. However, it only did it for the first phone number in any given contact. Any chance it might look for other numbers in a future version? A nice piece of software, nevertheless. Good job!

Guest Paul [MVP] Posted December 13, 2002 Report Share Posted December 13, 2002 How are french numbers formatted? e.g. english mobiles are +44 xxxx xxxxxx, where are the 'spaces' in French numbers? P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sunny Posted December 14, 2002 Report Share Posted December 14, 2002 no theres no space here is a sample: +33 ********* with 9 numbers after the 0 can't you just change the value for +33 ??? i hope you'll do it ! we can't wait ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The_Brickster Posted December 22, 2002 Report Share Posted December 22, 2002 I've downloaded the software, however it's only changed around 6 of my numbers to +44 format. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest kiffy Posted January 7, 2003 Report Share Posted January 7, 2003 I have an application here http://www.lars.org.uk/SPV/Outlook_Number_...r_Converter.zip that will format the numbers to how you like, for the format you want if you just enter a "+" in the number format box without the quotes it will format the numbers to +447970123456 for you. Hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Baadsha Posted January 7, 2003 Report Share Posted January 7, 2003 hi there thanks for the program it works pretty well just one thing and i think it is a outlook 2002 problem it still leaves a space between +44 and the rest of the number is there a fix for this or is it a outlook 2002 thing that can not be changed i am installing outlook 2000 and see if that makes a diff this forum thing is the best thing although i have been silent most of the time actually all the time i have really found it helpful thanks to all and look forward to participate a bit more myself now and hope i can get a fix for the 2002 outlook prob thanks once again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kiffy Posted January 7, 2003 Report Share Posted January 7, 2003 This is an issue with Outlook 2002, installing Outlook 2000 will stop this from happening. You could also try the following http://www.modaco.com/viewtopic...hlight=registry instead of installing Outlook 2000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Fuchikoma Posted February 3, 2003 Report Share Posted February 3, 2003 I've tried both programs posted in this thread to no avail. The first one ignores most of my numbers - it seems like it only takes the first number in any given contact? The others one only works properly if most of your contacts are "wrong" in the same way. My contacts are a mess. Some have the country code (+45). Most of the contacts has spaces (xx xx xx xx), since my outlook 2000 is insistent on putting them in! Any ideas on how to stop outlook from adding those annoying spaces? I can cope with editing all my contacts by hand as long as I only need to do it once! Any help would be greatly appreciated!
