SYMPTOMS
If you create an Outlook template that contains a number field in Raw
format, the template may add a decimal and zeros to the right of the
decimal to numbers that you type in the field. The number of zeros added to
the right of the decimal equals the number of digits to the left of the
decimal. For example, if you type "1111" (without the quotation marks) in
the field, "1111.0000" is actually displayed.
This problem is known to occur when you use the Outlook HTML Form Converter
tool to convert the template to Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) format,
and then use the HTML version of the template and Microsoft Outlook Web
Access to create a custom contact.
