If you've selected the text, then Insert > Autotext > New will present
you
with a dialog box in which you type the name of the entry (in this case
that
should be AddressLayout).

Sorry, I thought I had answered that with "Windows XP". The information
under
the help menu in About Outlook is Outlook 2002 (10.6516.6735) SP3
The directions I followed are from
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/212345/EN-US
They are:
To Create a New Format
To create a new address format, follow these steps:
1. in a new Word cucument, type the predefined address property names
(in
uppercase letters) in the format that you want to set up. For example,
type
the following
{<PR_GIVEN_NAME>} etc.
2. Select this text.
3. On the Insert menu, point to Auto Text, and then click New.
4. For the name, type AddressLayout
5. Click OK.
:
You will need to provide at least some information.
You still have not provided your Outlook version.
Nor could we have any idea which of these solutions you are trying to
use.
State the steps you are using precisely and your question.

I followed all the steps under "To Create a New Format". When I
click
Insert
and Auto Text the new format shows up under "Normal". Should it
have
it's
own line rather than show up under "normal? When I attempt to print
an
envelope, the old format with Unites States still comes up.

You misunderstood. It wasn't sarcasm. How could I tell where you
were
looking? I thought you might be trying to insert the bracket by
trying
to
select a symbol from the toolbar.

You failed to post your version information. To learn about
ways
to
control
how an Address is inserted into Word from Outlook, take a look
here:
http://www.slipstick.com/contacts/insword.htm
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;en-us;q134901
More recent versions of Office (XP and 2003) are less
predictable
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:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;292127
In Office 2003, the country field is no longer inserted by
default
with
the
Insert Address Function, so there is no need to remove the
country/region
field from the Contact Record or to create a customized
AddressLayout.
However, if you've made other customizations to AddressLayout,
they
will
only be applied to a document, but not to Envelopes and
Labels.
To
get
these
customizations also to apply to Envelopes and Labels, leave
the
Country/Region field blank. In Outlook XP and 2003, most users
find
that the
country/region field is no longer populated by default in new
Contacts
as it
was in earlier versions.

When I print an envelope in Word using an address from
Outlook
Contacts,
The
default includes the words "United States of America". How
can
I
delete
that
line and have the default end with the zip code? Thanks for
any
help.
