When attempting map an Excel table using MS office plugin, however the plugin does not recognise the country name Democratic Republic of the Congo. It says there is an error.

Question

I have tried using the following country names to try and correct the error: DRC, DR Congo, The Democratic Republic of the Congo, Congo-Kinshasha.  But nothing seems to correct the error. Anyone have a solution?

I beginning to think it is a problem with the ESRI MS Office plugin.

I am not using any plug in. I am just importing a csv file and am having the same problem. This seems like an easy fix - what name does the ArcGIS location tool use for Congo DR? Did you ever find a solution? You asked over a year ago.
