Barbara,

If your main output is Second Site, then you might consider setting
Data.Places.Place Format to "Full, then Short". From the Second Site Help
file:

"The Place Format property controls whether the Full Place or Short Place
format is used. As in TMG, the short place is either a literal string
assigned to the place via the Master Place List (MPL), or, if that is empty,
the short place is the result of interpreting the Short Place template which
is defined in the TMG preferences.

The Full, then Short choice operates as follows. The first time a place is
shown in a particular person entry, the full place is used as the value of
[L]. For all subsequent references to the same exact place for the same
person, the short place is used as the value of [L].

If the result of processing the Short Place rules (use the literal value,
then use the template) is an empty place, then Second Site will substitute
the full place. So, if the Short Place template is "<[L3],> <[L5],> <[L6]>"
but the L3, L5, and L6 fields are empty, then Second Site will use the full
place value."
