I hope you have no intention of using this internationally. I am aware that they use 8 digit phone numbers in Australia and while 7 digits is the norm for landlines here in New Zealand, cell phone numbers may be 7 or 6 digits. Then there are 0800 and 0900 area codes here as well. -- Michael --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.org
