United States in contacts address blocks

When you type in an address when adding a contact, it automatically adds
United States to the country block. Is there a way to turn off the automatic
adding a country and let me add the country only as may be neded?

What makes you think there is a need to? There is none.

I don't think so but what version of Outlook? Not all versions of Outlook
add it to the address.

That's in your opinion; if you can't be helpful, don't waste my time with a
smart-aleck answer

I use Outlok 2007. When I add a business address, the program automaticaly
adds United States to the Business Address Country and Country Region fields;
if I add a home address, it adds US to the Home Address Country field; same
for Other to Other Address Country field. Since most of my contacts are US,
I do not want the field filled in because it prints out when I print a list.
If I delete the Country field when viewing or printing, then i lose the
foreign country portion for my international contacts. There surely must be
some way to stop the default United States from filling in the country
fields. Thank you.

Invariably, when a user asks how to prevent Outlook from adding the country
code they are barking up the wrong tree. There are better solutions for
controlling address display than that. Those solutions depend on your
Outlook version and what problem you are trying to solve. You provided none
of that information. Now that is a waste of our time.

No there isn't. Nor is there a need to. Normally it is not necessary for the
country/region field to be blank in Outlook. Instead, users should control
how addresses are inserted into Word. To learn about ways to control how an
Address is inserted into Word from Outlook, take a look he
Word 2000/2002:

http://support.microsoft.com/default...;en-us;q134901

Word 2003/2007:
http://www.gmayor.com/Macrobutton.htm

More recent versions of Office (XP and 2003) are more dysfunctional when it
comes to inserting addresses. Modifying AddressLayout in Word 2002 will
apply only to addresses inserted into a document, but not to Envelopes or
Labels. The KB offers the following kludgy workaround:
http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;292127

In Outlook 2002 and 2003, most users find that the country/region field is
no longer populated by default in new Contacts as it was in earlier
versions.

You either didn't read my revised email or you don't understand. I said
nothing about transferring addresses to or from Word. I am talking about
adding contacts to my address book, directly into Outlook 2007, a part of
Office 2007. When I do that i get the default United States as I mentioned
earlier. Re-read my earlier explanation.
