[PAF] Re: Global Search and Replace

Joan, you could try to use tools > global search and replace.
You still need to manually identify fields that needs changing. One report
that might help you is the "custom" list under the printer icon. 

Before you start you might want to think about what and how much you want
to change. Personally I advice anyone to not put any abbreviations in their
place fields, not even the abbreviations for the states.
