Did you see my message with the instructions for Search & Replace to replace the "co." with "County"?
You want to make sure you have "Anywhere in field" under "How to find" and under "How to Replace" select "Replace only found text with replacement text" Also, the Expand/Contract won't work if you don't have all your locations formatted correctly with the commas for place holders. This is a good exercise to see how well your formatting's been done <g> Sincerely, Sherry Technical Support Legacy Family Tree On Wed, Oct 26, 2011 at 10:37 AM, <[email protected]> wrote: > I tried the "Find and replace on the "Search" menu.
