Formatting Phone Number

I have a nvarchar(20) field in an MSSQL database to start a phone number.

I have the field displaying on the report, and I right click on the field and select FORMAT.

I select CUSTOM and then Phone Number.

It does not do any formatting.

Is this because it is a string field? What should I be storing phone numbers in if that's the case?

Any assistance on getting it to properly display a phone number such as (555) 555-5555 would be great.

Thanks.

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
