Question : Is there a way of inserting hyphens (-) into all of the existing phone numbers contained in my Outlook 2007 contacts list? So the format will be 123-456-7890 instead of 1234567890

Is there a way of inserting hyphens (-) into all of the existing phone numbers contained in my Outlook 2007 contacts list? So the format will be 123-456-7890 instead of 1234567890.

What is the easiest way of dong this? As I have mentioned, most all of the phone numbers currently don't contain hyphens.

I know that one way of doing this might be to export all of the data into Microsoft Excel and then format the Microsoft Excel columns and then import all of this data back into my Outlook contacts. However, I am looking for an easier way of doing this.

How can this be done?

You could use something like Data Fields Manager - http://www.datafieldsmanager.com/. Unfortunately, not a freebie.
