Default contry/region when adding a contact

[Gis Bun]

Hi.

Is there a way to show a default country in the country/region field when
adding a new contact. Let's say I live in Mexico. If I create a new contact,
Mexico should show in the field right away instead of having to add it.

Thanks

What are your regional settings in Windows?

What version of Outlook are you using? Is this primarily something you just
want to see in the Contact form itself (or in a view of the Contacts folder),
or does it have to do with merging addresses from Outlook into Word?

Something I would mind seeing in contacts and nothing to do with merging.

Thanks

I don't think there is any way to do that. Interestingly, most of the
questions we get in the Outlook newsgroups about the Country field in
contacts is how NOT to have the country name show up...mostly the USA
(That's usually when they're doing some kind of mail merge with Word, though,
since normally United States of America wouldn't show up in Contacts either.)

It's probably optional for me anyways as most of my contacts are Canadian.
