For the phone number itself, to put the area code on a separate line,
and separate the rest with a space, start with the "Change phone format
Rule" template, convert it to JavaScript, and add this after the first
line:
//simple 7 digit phone
var formatStyle01 = "<br>$1 $2";
//simple 10 digit phone
var formatStyle02 = "$1<br>$2 $3";
//10 digit phone starts with 1
var formatStyle03 = "+$1 $2<br>$3 $4";
//10 digit phone with extension
var formatStyle04 = "$1<br>$2 $3 ext.$4";
//10 digit phone starts with 1 with extension
var formatStyle05 = "+$1 $2<br>$3 $4 ext.$5";
//7 digit phone with extension
var formatStyle06 = "<br>$1.$2 ext.$3";
var thisNumber = Field(Var1);
return formatNumber(Trim(thisNumber));
Make sure to check "Treat returned strings as tagged text."
As for the rest, I don't know what label you're using, but one way to
accomplish what you describe is to replace the last line of the above
(the "return" line) with this:
var num = formatNumber(Trim(thisNumber));
num = ReplaceSubstring(num, "<br>", "<br><t>");
var label = "Phone:"; // whatever you want here
return label + "<t>" + num;
Replace the label with whatever you want. Then you just need to set the
tab stop as appropriate in the Edit Tab Stops dialog where you're
inserting the result of this rule. (You could set the tab stop
programmatically in the rule as well, but that's more complicated.
There are other ways to do this besides using tabs as well.)

I need to format phone numbers on a business card where the label and
area
code is on the first line and the rest of the phone number is on the
second line (lined up directly under the area code, not the label), and
the phone number is separated by spaces (xxx xxxx). Could anyone help
with
a javascript? I do not need to validate that the phone number is entered
correctly, as I do that at input time.
