And even better that doing two changes is to put in the full string "Co.
ALA" or whatever. No need to change Co. and ALA as seperate events. Choosing
the appropriate search parameters and case sensitivity not only allows for
fewer passes, but prevents anomalies such as trying to change Ca to
California and getting Californialifornia.

Using Search and Replace will correct this quickly.
Tell it to search locations and change Co. to County, ALA to Alabama etc.
Easy as pie.

Hi Jane,
Which program and version were you using prior to Legacy? Depending on
the
program it may be easier to resolve the place names in your previous
program
and then import.
Best,

A daunting task indeed.
Otherwise, I fear I will not be able to use the new "Mapping feature",
even when I find out what it is and how to use it.
