You keep missing the essential point here. The only place that the country
field is of consequence is in a printed postal address, which clearly
requires a word processor. The only word processor Outlook supports is
Microsoft Word. If you have some other word processing software that you
were expecting Outlook to support (which you completely failed to mention,
BTW), your issue is with that software. For the last time, this is not an
Outlook issue.

Russ, I've never mentioned the word "Word" once, have I? You keep
addressing
questions that I haven't asked. I rarely use an address from MS Outlook
Contacts in MS Word. I do however often print labels using the Dymo
LabelWriter and have to physically go through the addresses and remove the
United States of America entries so that they don't appear in the labels.
My
question is why does United States of America appear in some addresses and
not others? If it is normal, it would appear in ALL addresses, right?

All answered in the information I posted. You are in complete control of
whether or not the country field is included in an address by controlling
the layout of that address in Word. If you don't understand the answer,
clarify what your specific question is. Your post is far too vague for
anyone to be able to help. There is no "bug" here.

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?
