Hi Rick,
In the simplest form (read my caution)... Go to "Search/Search Replace". In the pop up window... Find where: Lists-Location Find what: TX Replacement Text: Texas Anywhere in the field Replace only found text with replacement test Caution: doing as above will work, however it could change every letter combination of tx to Texas. I prefer to be more specific by... Find what: , TX Replacement text: , Texas or: , TX, USA to , Texas, USA then I'm pretty sure to get the results I want. You may want to do the same in List-Location Short, although many will leave the TX in the short version of the location. TX is fairly safe, as there aren't many words with that combination. If you were doing OH you could get Ohioio, as the Oh in Ohio has been replaced with Ohio. As in: replace "IN" with "Indiana" and get " IllIndianaois ". I think you see the need to think it through before doing the replacement. Another caution, as with any of these significant operations - do a back up first.
