Barbara, Why don't you try this really easy method?
1) Click on View > Master Lists > Location > Option button > Expand/Contract 2) Click on Expand Long Location Names. Click Continue. This should unabbreviate the states for you.

Jobes Sent: Tuesday, March 28, 2006 3:33 PM To: Legacy Subject: [LegacyUG] Search and Replace I have looked though the archives and help section and cannot find the solution to my problem. I am sorry to bring this topic up again. I have decided to replace abbreviated names for states with the full names. I have used this many times and it worked fine. I am in Lists -Location. I have "replace only found text" checked. In the How to Find I have "Find whole word" checked and "Exact" checked. I have tried checking/unchecking different variations and it does not work. It will go though the searching process and then says "no replacements made". There are no spaces and I am typing the abbreviations exactly as I have entered it. What am I doing wrong?
