Default Outlook 2007 Copy/Paste address information problems

OK that's fine but does anyone know the rules for parsing or where I could
look them up? That was really my (perhaps mistated) question if you refer to
the last sentence of my original post.

So you're copying and pasting from a Web page into a derived field? That
will have mixed results at best depending on the HTML code.
As I said, I'd parse the address elements yourself.

Hello Russ,

I guess that didn't mean much by itself, but I thought it would be
understood with the rest of the info and the actual question. I guess the
best way to explain is with a short video clip. It's about 3.6 MBs

Provide clearer information, please. "Just copy an address directly into
a
Contact" tells us nothing. That could mean anything. Parse the address
elements yourself.
Clarify how you set your location and in what operating system.

I don't seem to be able to get the different parts of the address to go
into
the intended fields if I just copy an address, say from a 411.com
listing
directly into a contact. The information looks right but if I click on
the
address button to open the check address dialog most of the info are in
the
wrong fields.

Also I have my location in regional and laguage options set to Canada
but
always end up with the county/region as US. Does anyone know the rules
(commas / spaces or whatever) to match the data to the right fields and
how
to set the country?
