Index by street address help needed - Family Tree Maker software ...

I am a relative (!) novice, and I wish to use the 'Places' feature of FTM 2012 to index my tree by Street Address. On my linked Ancestry tree in the relevent record's 'Residence' window I have extracted from the Census the Street Addresses and rather than put these in 'Location' I have put them into 'Description', knowing that at some time in the future I would have the big job of finding a way to index by these street addresses. I have a desire to 'map out' people's home addresses and cross reference them with others in my tree.
The only way I can think of to do this is to transfer said street address from 'description' to 'location' in Ancestry and then synchronise to FTM.
Having tried this with 20 street addresses I find that FTM is failing to synchronise (this may be for another reason which I am not aware of)
Is this a sensible way to achieve this, or can anyone advise a better method?
Thank you
