Ross:
You may not have to convert anything if you already have them entered as:
123 Main St., Anaheim, California, USA
Anaheim, California, USA
Toronto, Ontario, Canada
All Saint's Cemetery, Toronto, Ontario, Canada
Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
which will show as the following on your
Locations list if sorted right-to-left:
Canada, British Columbia, Vancouver
Canada, Ontario, Toronto
Canada, Ontario, Toronto, All Saint's Cemetery
USA, California, Anaheim
USA, California, Anaheim, 123 Main St.
Sort what you have right-to-left on the Locations
list and you'll see if anything needs to be changed pretty easily.
If this doesn't answer your question, please let me know.

So then... the question is will the program
convert the current locations system wide or
will I have to manually convert each location?
If the system will convert the names what are the steps to do so?

Ross:
I agree with Paula about the right-to-left sort
for the Location list. This solved my problem of
wanting to include the names of cemeteries,
churches, addresses, etc. for some ancestors as
well as the different naming structure in other
countries. No matter how many "parts" you
include in a location, it always sorts them
perfectly and you can find them instantly yet
reports have all the information you want on them.
