Give me an option here that I can use. I want to stay with Est because there is no way that I know of to change all the ones on Ancestry and I had planned on downloading a Gedcom and merging that file with my Legacy file once I have done all the research at that site. Without this correction, many more hours will need to be used on the merge. My merge is scottish names and 60% are duplicate type names due to naming conventions so hours and hours are needed for the merge and this has me frustrated thinking of how many more hours will be needed to change the dates headings.

If it turns out that you DO have to change "est" to something else, it needn't take hours. If you open your Gedcom as a Legacy file you could use the Search & Replace function to change all the instances of "est" in each Date field. Granted, not a single-step option, but wouldn't take too long. In fact, a Gedcom being text file I think you could probably do the Search & Replace in the Gedcom with WP program.)
