Outlook 2007 Copy/Paste address information problems
I don't seem to be able to get the different parts of the address to go into
the intended fields if I just copy an address, say from a 411.com listing directly into a contact. The information looks right but if I click on the address button to open the check address dialog most of the info are in the wrong fields. Also I have my location in regional and laguage options set to Canada but always end up with the county/region as US. Does anyone know the rules (commas / spaces or whatever) to match the data to the right fields and how to set the country?

Outlook 2007 Copy/Paste address information problems
Provide clearer information, please. "Just copy an address directly into a
Contact" tells us nothing. That could mean anything. Parse the address elements yourself. Clarify how you set your location and in what operating system. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "HangedMan" wrote in message ...

Outlook 2007 Copy/Paste address information problems
Hello Russ,
I guess that didn't mean much by itself, but I thought it would be understood with the rest of the info and the actual question. I guess the best way to explain is with a short video clip. It's about 3.6 MBs http://www.favron.com/images/posted/outlookaddr.avi "Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook]" wrote: Provide clearer information, please.

Outlook 2007 Copy/Paste address information problems
So you're copying and pasting from a Web page into a derived field? That
will have mixed results at best depending on the HTML code. As I said, I'd parse the address elements yourself. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "HangedMan" wrote in message ...

Outlook 2007 Copy/Paste address information problems
OK that's fine but does anyone know the rules for parsing or where I could
look them up? That was really my (perhaps mistated) question if you refer to the last sentence of my original post.

What do you mean by "rules for parsing?" There are no rules. Place the
individual address elements into their respective fields. Outlook cannot parse address information by itself when you place HTML code into a derived field. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "HangedMan" wrote in message ...
