Hi zcatav,
There is a convenience function in the prettyR package named 
"add.value.labels" that does just that. It is there mostly so that 
someone with data not converted from SPSS can make them look like data 
that has been converted from SPSS. I don't know whether the method used 
will work with functions from any other package, though.
