It did not work but I think I know why. I have entered, for example, Pittsburg, Crawford Co., Ks. When I remove the period after Ks. it will change. If I have Pittsburg, Ks (no period) it does not change, when I add the county it changes. If my theory is correct, how do I remove all the periods? ;-)
Thanks, Barbara

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.

Thanks,
