• If you double-click a phone number, the Check Phone Number window does not appear.

CAUSE

You customized the first page of the contact form.

RESOLUTION

This is a limitation of customizing the first page of the contact form. If you customize the first page of a contact form, Outlook does not underline the phone numbers or display the Check Phone Number window.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article.

Outlook still formats the phone number, placing parenthesis around the area code and adding spaces and hyphens as necessary. Also, the phone number is resolved. If the phone number is a fax number, then the fax number appears in the Outlook Address Book even though it does not appear to resolve.
