Problem with Envelope and Addressee Region
David Krugler 6/6/2007 4:32:01 PM
OK, this one is new to me and I don't know what setting is messed up.

XP Pro SP2 with Office 2003 (V 11 Build 5604) I have the following in Word
as AddressLayout

{<PR_GIVEN_NAME> <PR_SURNAME> | <PR_DISPLAY_NAME>}
{<PR_COMPANY_NAME>
}{<PR_STREET_ADDRESS>}
{<PR_LOCALITY>}{, <PR_STATE_OR_PROVINCE> <PR_POSTAL_CODE>}

Now if the region for the contact is filled in (Unitied States of America)
for in Outlook, the PR_COMPANY_NAME does not show up. If I take it out,
PR_COMPANY_NAME shows up.

Now I have taken out the Region for all the contacts, and all is working
now, but I would either like to know how to remove "United States" from the
default of the address when adding a contact, or fix Word to not get messed
up when Region is filled in.

Thanks in advance.

I've tried replicating this problem but have not been able to do so.

I wonder if the following would work, assuming most of your addresses are
U.S. ones:

{<PR_GIVEN_NAME> <PR_SURNAME> | <PR_DISPLAY_NAME>}
{<PR_COMPANY_NAME>
}{< PR_POSTAL_ADDRESS>}

?

As I understand it, the PR_POSTAL_ADDRESS item should only include the
country if it isn't "your own" (and I think that means "the one set up in
Windows Control Panel Regional settings).

As far as I know, Outlook adds the country when it tries to "check" the
address. The country drop-down doesn't include a <No country> option, but
you can delete the suggested country and it then should not appear in the
address. Personally I would probably try to keep the country in there, if
for no other reason than that Outlook basically expects to have one, but I
suppose that's simply a personal preference.

Check the size of the frame that forms part of the Envelope Address
paragraph style http://www.gmayor.com/changing_envelope_layout.htm . If it
has the default fixed height, there may not be enough room for both company
and country.
You may find http://www.gmayor.com/Macrobutton.htm useful also.
