DonFM 0 Report post Posted March 30, 2006 Forgive me if this problem has occurred before but I couldn't locate it on the forum. I've posted this also in TMG6 as it seems to be US/UK. Some time ago I imported a Family Tree for Windows database into the UK version of TMG 6 with UK styles. I've noticed that those entries with a placename import to a USA style. Those without, left the UK placename unaltered. Consequently I have to manually adjust every placename entry from the Master Style List to the UK version. And then move all the entries into their right slots. It's really tedious, but it would help if I didn't have to continually changes styles for every entry. Is there a way of or a tool to force all the placename style entries to be UK? That would save me a lot of time. Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you have some places that should be US style it may tne be easier to change these few back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
