Delete "United States of America" from the Country/Region

[ZZMHume]

Hello,

I have to REMOVE the United States of America from the Country/Region in
Outlook 2003 Contacts.

I tried the Following and it did not work for me:

1.. Open Outlook.
2.. Open Outlook's Contacts folder.
3.. Go to View | Arrange By | Current View | By Location.
4.. Scroll down until you see the first record with United States of
America in the Country/Region column.
5.. Delete United States of America from the Country/Region cell of that
record.
6.. Select all remaining records with United States of America in the
Country/Region column.
7.. Click the Country/Region cell of one of the selected records and drag
it to the empty Country/Region cell created in step 5.
Anyone have a different solution?

Thanks

Michael

What makes you think you need to remove the Country/Region entry? I know of
no reason you would need to. Enlighten me.

To avoid including it in a Word MailMerge.

use the address specific fields in the merge, not the predefined address
block. Or before printing, use find and replace to remove it.

Not a reason. The country isn't included in a mail merge unless you add it
as a merge field.
