If you are entering the same information several times over, you just need *click on Repeat* to have the same information in any field as was entered in that field for the previous record*.*
How do you 'click on repeat'? I will try Sherry's suggestions now too. Thank you. I'm working from a FGS that a cousin sent me and most of the places are the same but as another writer mentioned, sometimes you have to type quite a bit before coming to the one you want. I have some Swedish places too and I have to type the intl characters which is even more of a pain. We are so spoiled, haha! Thanks everyone.
