Russ Valentine said:Invariably, when a user asks how to prevent Outlook from adding the country
code they are barking up the wrong tree. There are better solutions for
controlling address display than that. Those solutions depend on your
Outlook version and what problem you are trying to solve. You provided none
of that information. Now that is a waste of our time.

It looks like Outlook can be set to stop automatically adding information
to contacts. In fact, this seems to be the default behavior - this field
may only start populating when an address is input with a non-US address.
How To:
1) View / current view
2) right click on Country/Region and select Customize
3) Fields
4) select Country/Region from the right pane and hit Remove.

No there is not. Nor is there a need to.
No there is not. Nor is there a need to. Normally it is not necessary for
the
country/region field to be blank in Outlook. Instead, users should control
how addresses are inserted into Word. To learn about ways to control how
an
Address is inserted into Word from Outlook, take a look here:
Word 2000/2002:
http://www.slipstick.com/contacts/insword.htm
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;en-us;q134901
Word 2003/2007:
http://www.gmayor.com/Macrobutton.htm
More recent versions of Office (XP and 2003) are more dysfunctional 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 Outlook 2002 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.
