SYMPTOMS

In the Contact form of Microsoft Outlook, the country that you want to use may not be listed in the Country field list.

The list contains the most frequently used countries.


RESOLUTION

To add an unlisted country to a contact, follow these steps:

  1. Click the Contacts icon in the Outlook Bar.


  2. On the File menu, point to New, and click Contact.


  3. After typing the contact's Full Name and any other information into the Contact form, click the Address button.


  4. Type the address details into the appropriate box. If your country is not in the Country/Region list, type the desired country in the Country/Region box. This will not add your country to the list; however, it will save it as the country for that particular contact.

If you do not enter a country name, Outlook uses the country that you set in the Regional Settings tool of Windows Control Panel.
