1. "Places Workspace, find one of the places in the right panel.
[except that it is in LEFT panel]
Right Click > Replace with another place name.
Replace with the duplicate"
That worked. Thanks. I had never noticed that option.
Still don't understand why FTM created a new place anyway when I selected the existing one to use, but oh, well, fixed it is.
2. "Main Menu > Tools > Options > Names, Dates, Places Tab > Lower Right corner > Place Options > 1) Check PNA when entering names 2) Exclude selected country."
FTM 2010 is different from what you cite... I only have tabs: General, Dates/Names, Warnings. PLACES is not on any tab.
