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? |

I don't think so but what version of Outlook? Not all versions of Outlook
add it to the address. -- Diane Poremsky [MVP - Outlook] Outlook Tips: http://www.outlook-tips.net/ Outlook & Exchange Solutions Center: http://www.slipstick.com Outlook Tips by email: EMO - a weekly newsletter about Outlook and Exchange: Do you keep Outlook open 24/7?

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

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. "Diane Poremsky [MVP]" wrote: I don't think so but what version of Outlook?

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. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "puche eagle" wrote in message ...

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://www.slipstick.com/contacts/insword.htm 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. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "puche eagle" wrote in message ...

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.
