Outlook does'nt automatically put street on 1st Box

[Horsetags]

Hi,

Not a highly technical, but an annoying problem

Every day i copy my customers addresses from their order email into Outlook Add Contact form.



Quite often (uk) the address is only 3 lines - street, City and post code.

99% of the time Outlook insists on putting the street in the second (City) box.

Surely the first line of any address is usually a street, which you would have thought the logic code in outlook would realise and put the first line in the street box.

I have a lot of 3 line addresses and have to paste the address in, and then correct it when Outlook decides that the first line is a city??

I can of course turn the checking facility off, but find it puzzling as to why a sophisticated piece of software does not realise that the first line is street.

I have made sure that all spaces before the street are removed, but sometimes i can paste a 3 line address in (with or without spaces before) and Outlook correctly reads it.

It's probably a setting somewhere, or me.
