Default Outlook 2007 Copy/Paste address information problems

What do you mean by "rules for parsing?" There are no rules. Place the
individual address elements into their respective fields. Outlook cannot
parse address information by itself when you place HTML code into a derived
field.

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?
