R help - May 2012 - Factor problem

HI!

I am working with a table with quantitative and qualitative data; one of
the columns is "Level of education", which is an ordered factor. I
want to
get rid of the ordered factor, and set my own scale. How to do that? All
the time I get the following error:

In `[<-.factor`(`*tmp*`, educa = "Less than high school", value =
3) :
  invalid factor level, NAs generated

Thanks,

Raúl
