Normally it is not necessary for the country/region field to be blank in
Outlook. Instead, users should control how addresses are inserted into Word.
To learn about ways to control how an Address is inserted into Word from
Outlook, take a look he

Outlook 2007

Control Panel regional settings - Canada
Control Panel phone - modem - Canada

When adding a new contact - the country field is autopopulated with USA -
how do I change and leave the field blank.

The previous answer I found was ignore it and just don't print that field
in
Word - but we wish to print the field for our non Canadian mail in Word so
always have to erase USA and input correct country - and then we still
need
to double check when exporting to labels to insure that they are correct.
