Bulk Editing of Place Names?

[jcherepy]

I was using FTM and I exported a gedcom and When I imported into Reunion most have extra commas and some of the names are not in the right order. Is there anyway to do a mass replace of extra commas, etc.?

Go to Find in the left column, then Find & Replace.
Be cautious...It is not reversible.

It is not reversible, soooo make sure you back up your file first!

Thanks for the reply, but my bad as they say. I had actually imported a gedcom created in Heredis (I've been looking at a whole bunch of programs), so I did an export from FTM and the place names look good. For some reason, Heredis has to have a "?" in the city field, it can't be blank. My only problem now, is I have some persons entered in the original file that weren't in FTM, so I'm going to have to enter them in the new file.
