I thought of that but in the search and replace dialog box there is no
option to check locations????

You may want to replace "Co," with "County,". No quotes of course but I use
them here to clearly show the text. Also, select "Match Case" and "Replace
only found text". This will be a lot more robust.

You can use the method posted yesterday in answer to a similar question.
Use the Search tab and 'search and replace'
In the top box "Find Where" use the down arrow to find "Lists-Location"
Then type in your changes(Co in the upper box, County in the lower one) and
click Start, all locations using Co will be changed to County.
*Take care though, or you may find locations like Cornwall become
Countywell. Experiment with a test file first, try out the settings options
and check that the 'Find & Replace' works well for you. The short locations
should be unchanged, but check.

I have all of my locations with Co in them for County (such as, Purvis,
Lamar Co, Mississippi, USA). I want to change the Co to County and leave
the Co in the short location. Is there any way to do that other than one
location at a time?
