is there a way, to stop the country/region field from being populated in
outlook contacts. i know i can open the contact then clear that filed but it
would be nice to be able to just stop it from filling in.

This has always been normal behavior in Outlook. The country is tied to your
regional settings in Control Panel and there is no way and no need to
prevent from being inserted into the Contact Record. Instead, you control
whether or not is inserted into addresses when you insert an address in
Word. To do so, you need to edit the AutoText layout that controls this. See
