Sorry Tom, I already tried that. It doesn't allow me to edit it. I put in
"(nnn)nnn-nnnn" and Windows automatically adds the "1" - "1(nnn)nnn-nnnn".
What I probably need is to find a way to prevent Windows from putting in the
"1" to begin with.

Try placing a comma after the 1. That should create a five second delay.
If that is not enough, use more commas.

I use a calling card for long-distance service, including faxing from my
laptop. When I get to the point where I need to put in the long distance
number I am faxing to, the software insists on putting "1" before the
phone number, such as 1(555)555-5555. The calling card does not need the
"1". How can I get rid of the "1"?
OK, here are the details:
Here are the steps I use whenever I use my calling card:
1. Dial the Access number.
2. Enter the PIN
3. Press 1 (this is a menu prompt, probably doubles for pressing "1").
4. Enter the number I am calling as (NNN)NNN-NNNN (NO "1" needed). ***
Here's where the problem occurs.***
The canonical format already has a "1" in it, which would be good. BUT,
it dials it TOO FAST, and results in an error in dialing and the call
rejected. I need to do one of the following:
1. Remove the "1" from the canonical format and set a rule to self dial
the "1".
2. Place a pause in the canonical format between the "1" and the rest of
the number when it dials, slowing down dialing and giving the calling
card company time to complete.
Example: "1 (5 second pause) (NNN)NNN-NNNN."
I have already tried a number of variations on the dialing rules, but
without success.
Any useful suggestions? Thanks!
