Entering Phone #’s – What a Pain!

These days to make a call you have to dial the 10 digit number…which means dialing the area code as well as the local phone #.

Formating the # for each entry is a PAIN! For example to enter my phone number you would have to type “(613) 347-9893″. Thats a total of 14 keystrokes. Save yourself some time and format your phone # column as a phone #.

It’s Simple…

Select the whole column

Choose Format from the top menu bar

Select Cells and from the Drop-Down menu choose Special and select Phone Number

Now when you enter 6133479893 your entry will automatically be formatted to read (613) 347-9893… it saves a lot of time – believe me!

Hey… Wait a Minute…I’ve got an even better tip for inputting phone #’s and other information!
