Global Search and Replace in Contacts Field Ashpoint 15.09.2006 07:34:02 Is it possible to do a search and replace in the Contacts Mobile Phone field? I presentlyhave mobile phones numbers saved in the format 04xxxxxxxx and would like to do a global search for 04 and replace with +614. Then my mobile numbers would be stored as +614xxxxxxxx Why, you ask? Because my mobile phone PDA will be able to send SMS messages from anywhere in the world. -- Ashpoint

You can also see if the PhoneChanger addin can do it for you (http://www.slovaktech.com/phonechanger.htm). -- Ken Slovak [MVP - Outlook] http://www.slovaktech.com Author: Absolute Beginner's Guide to Microsoft Office Outlook 2003 Reminder Manager, Extended Reminders, Attachment Options http://www.slovaktech.com/products.htm "Ashpoint" <Ashpoint[ at ]discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:0D12AFD5-2204-48C3-9433-FCD2AB914BD8[ at ]microsoft.com...
