form field format for phone number
The form field option box (form toolbar) does not give a format for a phone
number. Is it possible to enter a custom format in the format box? If yes, how would I do it for a phone number? TIA Jan |

Just type in the format you want, using the # symbol to represent a
digit. For example, a phone number in the US might be represented as 1-###-###-#### or (###) ###-#### -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.
