United States in contacts address blocks
I read what you said. You said you didn't want the country field filled in
because you don't want it to print. That question was answered. What is your next question? -- 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. "Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook]" wrote: Answer already posted. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "puche eagle" wrote in message ... I use Outlok 2007.

How to stop Outlook 2007 from adding country/region information for newcontacts
It looks like Outlook can be set to stop automatically adding information to contacts. In fact, this seems to be the default behavior - this field may only start populating when an address is input with a non-US address.
How To: 1) View / current view 2) right click on Country/Region and select Customize 3) Fields 4) select Country/Region from the right pane and hit Remove. puche eagle wrote: You either did not read my revised email or you do not understand. 20-Sep-09 You either did not read my revised email or you do not understand.
