OL98: Fax Uses Incorrect Country Code With Windows NT

MORE INFORMATION

Your profile must include a Fax service in order for fax numbers to appear in your Address Book. For Outlook Contacts use these steps to force the correct country code:

1. Start Outlook and open your Contacts folder.
2. On the Contacts menu, click New Contact.
3. In the Full Name box, type the contact's name. In the Business Fax box, type +1 (the country code for the United States) followed by the area code and remaining seven digits of the fax telephone number, as in the following example:

   +1(406) 222-2222

4. On the Toolbar, click Save and Close.
5. On the Tools menu, click Address Book.
6. In the Show Names From list, select Contacts, then select the name of the contact created in step 4. The address appears as:

   ContactName@+1 (406) 222-2222.

If you do not see the fax number listed, you may not have a Fax service installed in your profile. Unlike Microsoft Windows 95, Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 does not include a Fax service.
