AddressLayout
My elderly neighbour has recently bought a Dell with Win XP Pro and
Word 2002. In trying to help her permanently remove the UK/USA from the end of the addresses in Word (Tools Envelopes & Labels etc), I've tried to do it in the same way as for my own Word 2000 but this doesn't seem to work. Please how can I do this? TIA. -- Ian Wolfe. Linlithgow. Birthplace of Mary, Queen of Scots. |

Many thanks for your very speedy reply. That's exactly what I've been doing - I had the instructions previously printed out for my own Word2000, but I can't get them to work on Word2002. What else could be stopping it? TIA. -- Ian Wolfe. Linlithgow. Birthplace of Mary, Queen of Scots. Blessed are the peacemakers. |

Hmm. I'm afraid I don't know, as I've never used this (I don't use the
Envelopes dialog at all). Perhaps see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/EnvelopeFormat.htm (not sure if it covers this, though). -- Suzanne S.

Try the following layout
{PR_GIVEN_NAME PR_SURNAME }{PR_COMPANY_NAME }{PR_POSTAL_ADDRESS} I am pretty sure that Outlook normally suppresses the country part of the address for the home country set in Windows regional setting. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Ian Wolfe wrote: In message "Suzanne S.

Graham's solution worked just fine for me. Because I do not need it, I
deleted the Company Name from the layout. Word prints the "Country" only if a country is entered in the Outlook Contact address box. GR "Graham Mayor" wrote in message ...

The curly brackets in the sequence will cause a company name to be omitted
with no blank line if there is no company listed in the Outlook entry. Word should only print what is shown in Outlook's 'detailed address card' view, which in turn is controlled by Windows regional settings. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org GR wrote: Graham's solution worked just fine for me.
