Interesting that the help mentions Est and estimated but the date
settings do not have an option for that term.

*Approximating Dates*
If you have a birth or marriage date for an individual, you can
approximate many other missing dates. In general you can estimate that
a man was married when he was 25 and a woman when she was 21. You can
then estimate that their first child was born one year later and that
subsequent children were born every two years after that. For example,
if a couple was married in 1863, you can estimate that the man was born
in 1838, the woman in 1842, their first child in 1864 and the second
child in 1866. As another example, if a woman was born in 1800, you can
estimate that she was married in 1821, her husband was born in 1796 and
their first child was born in 1822.
When entering an estimated date, use an appropriate prefix, such as:
Estimated or Est
About or Abt
Before or Bef
After or Aft
So it looks as Legacy recognize "Est".. No idea why it not works.

Est has never been one of the date prefixes in Legacy.
I went back to Legacy 7.5 and the only prefixes there are: Abt, After,
Bef, Between, Cal, Cir and B.C. Those are the same prefixes listed in
9.0.
Legacy 9.0 did change the prefixes to lowercase by default. I just
changed mine to initial Caps and they appear to hold in Options and
displayed correctly on screen. I did not test the reports to see how
date prefixes are used there.

I have always used Est rather than Abt. Since I did the latest update
to Legacy 8, it has changed all my Est to est. Looking at date
options, it appears that Estimated is no longer a valid prefix and it
won't capitalize for that reason. This is a lot of people that I
have to change to Abt, which I don't want to do. Plus it means that
all my Ancestry data has to be changed in order for me to have the
files match.
Why is Est no longer a valid prefix for a date ? Do I have to roll
back to the prior update to be able to use again ? Can I roll back
to the prior update ?
