Add Auto Formatting Phone / Fax

Some countries have telephone / fax numbers of different lengths (i.e. different numbers of digits). Because of this, Wintouch allows you to set different formats for telephone / fax numbers of different lengths. We will use Azerbaijan as the example for formatting international telephone / fax numbers. For Example,in Azerbaijan land line phones have 8-digit numbers and mobile phones have 9-digit numbers.

1. From the Main Menu Bar go to Options -> Preferences .

   

2. In the Wintouch Options tab, there is a section called Telephone-Fax Format. By default the Ignore Formatting check boxes are enabled for each country.

   

3. Locate the country Azerbaijan and deselect the Ignore Formatting check box.

   

4. Double click in the Format column.

   

5. When the Edit Format window opens select the Add button.

   

6. In the New Format dialog type the desired format specifying parentheses, dashes, and spaces, and using the # symbol to represent the digits. An example of a 8-digit phone / fax number format is (###)#####. If you enter 26164541 in a phone / fax field for this country, it would display (261)64541. When you are ready to move on press the OK button.

   

7. Press OK button.

   

8. You will see the format that was added displayed in the Format column.

   

9. Check the Show Country Dialing Code box if you would like the country code to display in telephone / fax fields. The format of the Country code display is automatic - it is not customizable. For the U.S., this would mean a +1 would show before all numbers.

   

10. Click Save at the bottom of the screen and decide at which level to save your customization.
