Victor, you confuse me. Where do you use Text Macros in Place Fields?
Once you enter a place with D, C, C, S, C it is is stored in the Master
Place List. Te recall any place you enter F2, enter the first few
characters of the place name and select the combination that you want
The MPL is per Project so any Data Set in the Project can use the places.
For instance I have : the Dutch Reformed Church, Lunenburg, Lunenburg
County, NS, _Canada. I would use this combination for the baptism of a
person where there is no Birth Tag. I would use the Dutch Reformed
Church, Lunenburg, --Lunenburg County, NS, _Canada. where I had a birth
Tag and was entering a Baptism. this my way that I enter places
If you went to change a place as the changes are kept in the MPL and can
be modified when the Tag is entered or edited.
If your Detail varies like a street address, you can go to the City, F2
and enter the city and get the entries with the C,C,S,C that you want.
You can enter each field of a place by using F3 or Ctl F3
