The default for this field is "United States of America",
or whatever country you set in the Control Panel.

Does anybody know how to make this default be an "empty
field"?

Thankd for any help. If possible, please answer to my
email as well: (e-mail address removed)
 
I enter new contacts every day. If I don't physically
remove the "United States of America" country designation,
when I call up as contact into a letter or envelope, it
includes the country. Then I have to take time to remove
it from the letter or envelope.

I was hoping for a simple solution to avoid all the extra
clicking, and the possibility that it gets missed on a
merge.

Furthermore, the U.S. Post Office wants the
designator "USA", not "United States of America".

One more thing, the Post Office doesn't want a comma
between the city and state, but Outlook insists upon
putting one in.

You just need to control how the address is inserted, not delete the country
field. To learn about ways to control how an Address is inserted into Word
from Outlook, take a look here:
