Country in Contact Addresses

[Emily Phillips]

When I add a contact in Outlook, it automatically adds the
country designation of United States of America. Then, in
Word, when I try to insert the address into a document
from the Address Book, it includes the line 'United States
of America' in the last line of the address. I don't want
the country designated in the Outlook Contact address and
I don't want it showing up when I insert an address into a
document. What can I do?

You can choose the format & data fields using the AddressLayout AutoText
entry. Take a look here for how to do it:

Do you mean I have to create an AddressLayout entry in
AutoText and then when I use the AddressBook to pull in an
address from my Outlook Contacts list to insert an address
in a document, the address inserted will insert the fields
which I designate in this AutoText entry?

Dear Herb:

That worked wonderfully when I insert an address from an
Outlook Address book into a document. Thanks for the
help. But I still have the same problem when I try to
insert and address using the address book in Envelopes and
Labels, i.e. the United States of American still shows
up. Any help in fixing this?


Abjectly yours,

Emily Phillips
