I think Jenny has highlighted the point - the places in SourceWriter do not end up in the Location List - they are "just text". You only need to be constrained to the Location format when the data is going to end up in the Location List.

You don't see which SourceWriter template you are referring to, but in fact is doesn't really matter. Just because a template field is named "Town", for example, doesn't mean you have to only put the town name in that field or even that you have to fill that field at all if you don't want to. Likewise, if it's named something like "Name of Church" and the next field is, say, "County" there's no reason why you can't enter "St Someone's Church, Anytown" in the first field. -- Jenny M Benson Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp
