# Changing the format of addresses in Address Book

You can change the default address format used for cards in Address Book. For example, you might want to display addresses in a format used in another country.

- To change the format of all addresses in your address book, choose Address Book > Preferences, click General, then choose a country from the Address Format pop-up menu. That country code is added to all addresses.

- To change a single card to another format, select the card, click Edit, then click the label (such as "home") next to the address you want to change. Choose Change Address Format from the pop-up menu and choose a format.

IMPORTANT: The country selected in the Change Address Format pop-up menu must match the country in the contact's address. If they don't match, Address Book won't display the correct map when you choose Map Of from the address label pop-up menu.
