Altough what can be done there is limited, you could use transform() to format the phone number. ie:

Home phone : %%transform(_MergeData_.TutorHomePhone, '@R (999) 9999-999')%% %%_MergeData_.TutorHomePhoneNote%%

Note: If you make a mistake there then you would get an error when it tries to send the email. Here is the mask information:

@R
The transformation uses a format mask. The mask characters are not stored to the transformed value.

!
Converts lowercase letters to uppercase letters.

#
Permit entry of digits, spaces, and signs, such as the minus sign ( – ).

$
Displays the current currency symbol, as specified by the SET CURRENCY command, in a fixed position.

$$
Displays floating currency symbol that always appears adjacent to the digits in a spinner or text box.

,
Displays the current digit-grouping, or separator, symbol as set by the Regional and Language Options setting in the Windows Control Panel.

.
Displays the current decimal point character as specified by the SET POINT command setting. (Default is a period (.))

9
Permits entry of digits and signs.

A
Permits alphabetic characters only.

H
Prevents entry of non-hexadecimal symbols in the specified position.

L
Permits logical data only.

N
Permits letters and digits only.

U
Permits alphabetic characters only and converts them to uppercase (A - Z).

W
Permits alphabetic characters only and converts them to lowercase (a - z).

X
Permits any character.

Y
Permits the letters, Y, y, N, and n for the logical values True (.T.) and False (.F.), respectively.
