How do I stop Outlook adding "United States" to domestic contacts
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?

How do I stop Outlook adding "United States" to domestic 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.

How do I stop Outlook adding "United States" to domestic conta
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?

How do I stop Outlook adding "United States" to domestic conta
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. "Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook]" wrote: Read the answer I posted. There is nothing to fix. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Billy" wrote in message ...

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.

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 Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Billy" wrote in message ... Russ, read my questions.

How do I stop Outlook adding "United States" to domestic conta
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?

How do I stop Outlook adding "United States" to domestic conta
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 Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Billy" wrote in message ... Russ, I've never mentioned the word "Word" once, have I?

How do I stop Outlook adding "United States" to domestic conta
Russ, thank you for your assistance. You are right in that it is of no
consequence if you are importing the contacts into MS Word. The whole reason for continuing the dialogue with you was to see if this addition to Contacts can be avoided. Whether it is workable in Word or not to me wasn't the issue. I guess that I'm like the TV character Monk where unneccessary additions bother me. I just don't understand why the additions happen and wanted to avoid them from occurring. Thank you for your patience with me.
