Outlook Contacts: Wrong Default Area Code

Question: "When I enter a new contact in my Outlook 2003 it automatically inserts a (651) area code for the phone number. How can I change this to (208)?"

Answer: "You are looking for the Phone and Modem dialing rules. Try this:
1. Open any contact. On the toolbar click on Actions > Call contact > New call
(For 2007 or 2010 versions, click "Call > New call")
2. Click Dialing Properties, then you will see a new screen.
3. Click Edit or New and change the area code"
