Would like to remove USA from contacts
United States of American is automatically being entered into the contact
list and into the address book when we use that to add to a letter. Can this be removed?

The country is tied to your regional settings in Control Panel and there is
no way and no need to prevent from being inserted into the Contact Record. Instead, you control whether or not is inserted into addresses when you insert an address in Word. To do so, you need to edit the AutoText layout that controls this. See http://www.slipstick.com/contacts/insword.htm -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "lbcrosby" wrote in message ...

The country that you specify as your "Location" in the "Regional and Language
Options" control panel will: 1. Be used by Outlook as the default country for Contact addresses unless you specify a country; and 2. Won't appear in the "Addresses" area of the Contact (even though it is actually part of the address). So, the short answer is: Make sure you have selected "United States" as your "Location" in the control panel.

To fix all the existing ones, view the Contacts folder in Phone List View,
show the Country field ( I use the Filed Chooser) and then turn on the GroupBy Box and group by Country field. Fix one entry and then select and drg contacts from the USA group to the correct one.
