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

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)
