How do I set up 10 digit dialing?

10 digit dialing is used when calling a number in the US that has an area code different from yours, but you are not required to dial a 1 before the area code.  To set up an area code for 10 digit dialing use the area code rules in Windows.  From within Handy Address Book select:

File / Options... / Modem / Dialing Properties....

This brings up the dialing rules dialog from Windows.  Here you can define your location's dialing properties.  Select your location, and choose "Edit..." and then press the "Area Code Rules" tab to define all the area codes to use 10 digit dialing.  To set up an area code for 10 digit dialing, press the "New..." button and enter the area code.  Make sure to un-check the option to dial a 1 if it is checked.
