I have a number of weekly conference calls that I need to dial into. Most of these I receive via appointments in Outlook, and the number that needs to be dialed is listed in the appointment's "Location" field. The phone number is typically accompanied by a passcode to enter the call.
All that being said, I was really hoping that WM5 for PocketPC would enable the automatic parsing of phone numbers in the location field within a calendar appointment -- much like how it works on WM Smartphones. (Number is highlighted/linked and you simply "click" to dial the number)
I've searched around a fair amount on a number of different forums and Google, and came up with very little discussion on this topic. Does anyone have any tips or tricks to making it easier to dial a number from a calendar appointment (location field)? I do currently use the copy/paste method (from calendar into Phone app), but this is quite cumbersome, and I was really hoping for a more intelligent way of doing it.
Thanks for any suggestions.
