Paul Lawrence 0 Report post Posted December 27, 2005 How do you merge duplicate place names in TMG. I can't find any option in the Master Place List Tool <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Optimizing will remove duplicate place names....from the TMG Help File: To optimize a project: 1. From the File menu, choose Maintenance. 2. Select Optimize. 3. Select [Yes]. The current project will be optimized. Deleted records, including people, events, sources, repositories; unused media files in Slideshow; as well as duplicate place records, will be eliminated and the space reclaimed. NOTE: For two place records to be considered duplicates, all fields must be the same. This includes the Style, if one was used to create some of the entries. It is possible, for example, for two Master Place records to appear identical, but to have been generated using different Styles. Optimizing will not remove unused place records for which a start year, end year, comment, or short place name have been recorded. Wholly Genes, Inc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
