Street Suffix
Street suffixes (such as “street”, “road”, and “avenue”) are included in most addresses, and Circulation initially contains standard US and Canadian street types and abbreviations (see the list below). Limiting street suffixes to the types initially loaded insures that the format and abbreviation of street types are consistent with Post Office Publication 28 (a list of USPS street suffixes). Punctuation (such as periods after abbreviations) is omitted from street suffixes. Street suffixes can be added or modified using this option.

Select Street Suffix from the Address menu to display the Street Suffix window.
