To get the dashes you have to quote them (actually, Graham covers this in
the section on that page about Zip codes):

e.g. { MERGEFIELD myphonenumber \#"000'-'000'-'0000" }

(This will only work if you always need the same format, as in US phone
numbers)

How do you format a fax number so it includes the dashes? So, 617-521-4886

I looked on the website http://www.gmayor.com/formatting_word_fields.htm
but
could not find anything orin Word help either.

I can format to get the spaces between the numbers but not the dashes too.

Thanks,
Courtney
