How can I create a phone number field that will accept 999-999-9999 as the format entered?

I'm comfortable with most aspects of Livecycle but I am having a problem with the 'phone' fields. I want to be able to type in a phone number (in the value field) like this 999-999-9999. The field wont allow it. It appears that the only way to enter the numbers is 999999999. And after the numbers are entered, and you 'tab' the format changes to include commas - 9999,999,999  Can someone help me?

You can Extend the form using Acrobat, under Advanced>Extend Features in Adobe Reader (may be in a different place depending on your version of Acrobat).

You should be able to just change the field type from Numeric Field to Text Field on the Object palette.
