    I can't duplicate that error in your file or a separate one. If I keep typing "3" I get "333-333-3333"

    what i mean is that the 4th time you press the number 3 it becomes the symbol (-). Is there a way that the symbol appears automatically after the 3rd and the 6th numbers are typed?

    My first question is why not do it in native excel? Secondly, try using the macro recorder and then tweaking it.
