Russ, read my questions. If there is nothing to fix, address the problems
that I wrote about. Your "there is nothing to fix" didn't answer anything.
The additions are not consistent but rather sporadic. They pop up at will.
Once removed, the United States of America might appear on the same address
or move to another of my 600+ addresses. This seems FAR from NORMAL. You
didn't address why this NORMAL behavior just popped up within the last few
months. I've used MS Outlook Contacts for years without this NORMAL behavior.

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?
