First a little terminology: The label is the word that describes the information (Birth:, Death: etc.). the information entered for that is the data (the dates with or without an approximation qualifier such as 18 Dec 1879, About Dec 1856 or Cir. 1234). When you select the full option for the labels in Charting it is correctly using Birth instead of b. Death instead of d. etc. as the label for the birth dates.
I could not find any option in charting that allows you to select how the approximation words are displayed. It always uses the default abbreviations such as abt. cir. etc. and does not use the Legacy settings for those kinds of dates. We are happy to consider suggestions for new features. In Legacy 6.0 and 7.0 you can suggest a new feature by clicking on the link on the Legacy Home Tab Support Section Other users can make a suggestion here: http://www.legacyfamilytree.com/Suggest.asp Use the drop down list in the first box to select a category, Legacy 7 or Legacy Charting.
