Your "pat" answer isn't sufficient. If your response is accurate, why doesn't
the United States of America appear on EVERY address? I have over 600
addresses in MS Contacts and your answer doesn't hold water. The United
States of America appears in 20% of the addresses. If I remove it from one
address, why does it not reappear later on the same address? This NORMAL
activity hops around my Contact files. I've used Microsoft Outlook for years
and this PROBLEM and ANNOYANCE has only surfaced within the last year. If
this is the NORMAL behavior, why haven't I "enjoyed" this behavior for the
many years I've used MS Contacts? And, your "help" for printing in MS Word is
only a partial help. What about those using label printers that imports a
large segments of the Contact addresses? Due to the NORMAL behavior, I have
to go through the entire list of contacts being printed and remove the United
States of America before printing the labels. Surely there is a fix for this
NORMAL bug.

I hate that Outlook Contacts does this. I am constantly removing the United
States of America. It pops up sporadically on various addresses. I remove
them only to have it appear on other addresses later. Is there a permanent
way to remove this? It doesn't pop up on every address. What determines
when
and if it will pop up? Is this fixed in later versions of Outlook
Contacts?

No. This has always been normal behavior in Outlook. The country is tied
to
your regional settings in Control Panel and there is no way and no need
to
prevent from being inserted into the Contact Record. Instead, you control
whether or not is inserted into addresses when you insert an address in
Word. To do so, you need to edit the AutoText layout that controls this.

Over time, some US based contacts have "USA" or "United States of
America"
added to the names. Can I prevent that since I would not add USA to an
address labels?
