Same here Gail,
I have wished for a long time that Legacy would consider that locations
often use more than just 4 places, but so far no luck.
And you are correct .... I can only get the expand/contract option to
work on 4 placeholder entries. On all others it gets really "upset".
Legacy will accept nine (9) comma delimited placeholder entries but
apparently really only wants to use four (4) comma delimited location
entries.
Thanks for the input.

Thanks for bringing this up, Elizabeth. I am very interested in the
answer to your question too. If there's not a way to replace the long
location with the short one in a gedcom export, I suggest that it be
considered for a future enhancement.
Dave, to answer your question (maybe): From the Master Location List,
go to Options, then choose Expand/Contract Location Parts. You can try
out the various options, but I highly recommend tagging a couple and
testing them before you apply the change to your whole list. It's my
understanding that the Expansion/Contraction features only work when the
location is formatted with 4 placeholder entries.
The choices are very confusing to me, and they don't help at all because
my short locations are formatted specifically to remove the extra place
holders, thereby nullifying the use of the expand/contract function.
Has anyone found this feature useful in its current state?

Is there any way to export short locations in a GEDCOM or are they
always long locations with place holder commas?

Anyone know how I can "delete" just the county in all my short name
locations? Is this possible?
Edit each "Short Location" entry in your Master Location list.
