Country/Region Code

[Cindi]

It seems to me that the Country/Region displays when you
enter an address for either the business or home address
if the address is entered directly into the address
window of the New Contact dialogue box. However, if you
click the Address Details button [ADDRESS...] and then
enter the address, the country does not automatically
display. Is there a way to tell outlook to never display
the country, regardless of how the address is entered?

I also noticed that even if the address does not display
the country in the Contact dialogue box, if you change
views to say Phone List and add the Country/Region field
so that it is visable, then it will display, but like I
said, only for contacts entered directly into the
Contacts Dialoge box and not when the address is entered
for the contact by pressing the [ADDRESS...] button.

To test this, change your view to Phone List. Add the
Country/Region field so that it is visable. Start a new
contact and enter the address directly into the Address
box, WITHOUT opening up the Address Details. Close the
contact, and you will notice that the Country/Region
displays. Now, add another contact, this time when you
enter the address, click the [ADDRESS...] button to enter
the address. Close the contact. You should notice that
your Country/Region does not display.

What gives? I NEVER want the country/region to display.
How do I accomplish this?

Many, Many Thanks to anyone who can make sense out of
this for me.

The answer to your question is that in most versions of Outlook (and you
never specified your version), you cannot prevent Outlook from entering the
country. Nor do you need to. Instead you control how the address information
is inserted and configure the insertion so that it eliminates the country. I
posted the information to tell you how to do that.

Ok... Well, I have the same problem as him, but I am not interested i

inserting the address into a Word document. I am looking to print an
envelope through Word (XP) using the address book from Outlook (XP).
The method I use is to click Tools / Envelopes and then click th
Address
Book icon there and pick the address I would like on the envelope.

In this case Outlook automatically inserts the full address - includin
the
country code - to the envelope. The article you linked does no
describe
how to change the format of that functionality. I haven't found a wa
to
format what is inserted to an envelope except for erasing the countr
code
from my contacts in Outlook. This is pretty simple, but is really jus
an
unnecessary step that could (and should) be avoidable by a simpl
toggle
somewhere in the options, or by using the method you linked to if i
worked
for the formatting in the Envelope function as well.

I tried the method you linked, but it seems to only affect addresses
inserted into the document
