Not much clearer. Where is the address not displaying the way you think it
should? In what view? How a mail address displays on your computer screen
would be of no consequence. How it displays in a document would, and that is
controlled in Word.

Sorry for using 'dialogue' where maybe I should have used 'form'. There
is
the standard OL contact form. Where you have address, you can press the
button with the word 'Business', 'Home', 'Other' (depending on which is
the
default to show in the Contact interface). That brings up a sub-form
called
"Check address". So to your point, we very much are concerned with best
practice of parsing out information. But the OL interface (the main
Contact
form) is not consistently showing us one or two spaces between State and
Zip
(even though we have made sure that in the individual fields in the
sub-form,
there are no extra spaces in any field, neither before nor after the field
value.

Does that help with getting some resolution to the problem?

Your terms are very vague. I have no idea to what "dialogue box" you are
referring. You should always parse address elements yourself if you
expect
Outlook to handle them correctly.
How addresses display in documents is a Word function, not an Outlook
function.

I am having issues with uniformity with zip codes, in '07.
Specifically,
using the dialogue box to enter an address (and checking for no extra
spaces
in each field), the display of that address in the contact dialogue
(not
the
sub-dialogue where each field is separated, but once you continue out
of
that
and OL displays the address as it would look on an envelope, for
example)
is
waivering between showing one and two spaces after the state and before
zip
(I would prefer 2, as it should be). How can I resolve? Our group
happens
to be very particular about formatting and having consistency, so take
that
for what it is and let's assume I have to conform to one way or the
other.
What to do, short of going through all several thousand contacts, and
manually typing in an extra space where needed?

thanks
