MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / May 2006Mapping of zip/postal code and city field reversed
Today I discovered that the fields zip/postal code and city in my Outlook contacts have reversed in the contact card view (after I have double-clicked a contact and it opens in its own window). This view is shown here: http://www.gamborg.dk/john/download/contacts_incorrect.gif When I click on the "Business" button to edit the address, all the information are in the correct fields. As shown here: http://www.gamborg.dk/john/download/contacts_correct.gif So it seems to me that the only thing wrong is how Outlook displays the information is incorrect. How can I change this? John You didn't mention your Outlook version. I don't see that problem in OL2003 SP2.

I don't see that problem in OL2003 SP2. Sorry, my Outlook version is 2003 SP2. Could it be a regional setting, is this mapping format usual in the US? John I'm in the U.S. and I see what the site at http://www.bitboost.com/ref/international-address-formats/norway/norway.html says is the correct format. I can't explain why your copy of Outlook is showing something else.

I can't explain why your copy of Outlook is showing something else. From the same website I can see that in the U.S. the format is like that shown in my outlook contacts address cards. So logically this could mean that the program displays the U.S. format. But I still wonder how I can change that settings to get the correct formatting back. I use the English version of OL2003 SP2, but have had no problems displaying the addresses in the correctly Norwegian format. And it's only wrong in the address card display. All other places it displays correctly. John Outlook uses a different address format depending on the country listed in the contact. There are no user-configurable settings for this feature. That's why I find the difference baffling and unexplainable. If you have a retail copy of Outlook, you might want to file a support incident on the web site at http://support.microsoft.com BTW, you don't mean address cards. Those are a display feature of the folder view, not of the individual item view.

I tried to change the country of the contacts and then it corrected itself automatically. But still no clue to how this happened and I don't want to change all of my contacts manually :-( John |
