Default Formatting Phone Number Data Set

Depending on how those phone numbers looked, I'd do a bunch of edit|replaces to
remove any non-numeric characters

Get rid of the ('s, )'s, (spaces), -'s and anything else you see.

Then apply a custom/special number format to the resulting digits.

format, is there an easy way to have them reformatted so that they are all
consistent in that coulmn?
