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



CAUSE
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 then click Contact.
 * 3) After you type 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 does not add your country to the list; however, it saves it as the country for that particular contact.
 * 5) Click OK, and then click Save And Close.

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