Bill,
You can import any of the Master Lists from one file to another.
Go to View > Master Lists > Location
Click on the options button and select import
If you have difficulty or questions at any stage press F1 or use the
help button on the screen for more information.
Once you have your cleaned up locations in the file you can use the
combine option to combine the badly formatted locations with the good
ones from the imported list.
NOTE: If you select multiple locations (hold CTRL while clicking on a
new location) before you click on the combine button you can combine all
of them at once into the destination.

I never merged a GEDCOM into an existing file. That would be a nightmare
since things have gotten corrupt exporting from TMG. I always import a
fresh GEDCOM and start from scratch. This time I had Legacy ignore all
image links. I think it works better that way. I can relink them later.
Early this morning I relinked and updated my grave photo descriptions. I'm
using that TMG-to-Legacy file to create a report of media items since FTM
will not cooperate and has limited reporting capabilities. I'm going to use
that to copy and paste the information back into this new file when I get
around to relinking images.
I'm doing light cleanup now then I'm moving onto sources and locations. I
wish I could import my locations from the old file to this one since I fixed
all of them. If I could, I would have to go through and merge them.
I do like all the features that Legacy has that most other programs don't.
It's just going to take time to learn all of them and find things.
