Outlook will mask the number to the correct format for you no matter how you
enter it.

Also, standard international (canonical) format is always recommended for
fax numbers:

Why would want you change it? Outlook is doing what it should. That is
canonical format and is the format fax and all other dialers need in order
to dial correctly and to process dialing rules correctly. Any other format
would be wrong.

Hi, Russ - when I enter a fa number in contacts in canonical format, Outlook
changes to +1 (000)-000-0000.
