Michele,
Please consider that should you ever wish you publish, abbreviations instead of full locations can be at best be meaningless, and perhaps actually misleading for those not from the country, or even the general area to which the location may refer. Would you understand, for example, the Chapman codes for England?

I add locations on the fly as I am entering data. I am too lazy to click on the + next to the location and put in the correct short form at that time. Periodically I will go to the master Location List and put in the correct short locations in and then I check the box that that location is verified. I can see at a glance which locations have not been updated with a short location. My long forms are like this, Purvis, Lamar, Mississippi, USA I change the short form to Purvis, Lamar Co, MS This has been a very useful tool for me to make sure all my locations have correct short forms so that they print all nice and pretty in reports especially when you have something like this, , , Georgia, USA. If it prints out that way in a report it looks kind of goofy. GA look better :) Michele 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 Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).
