Default 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?

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.

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.

none

Default 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.

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:

versions.
