Default word 07 won't change the open file to the name I just "saved as"

I didn't think that was possible - however, I think I'll wait to see what
the OP has to say before commenting further.

Graham: I think rgw1085 means the file name at the top of the window
doesn't change to the new name. I don't know how to fix that, so
hope you can help.

rgw1085: Can you see the new file name in the folder you saved it
in? If you (later) open the it, does the correct file name appear?

Change the name of the file where? If you mean that contained in a
filename field, then note that filename fields do not update
automatically. You will need to force an update - the simplest
method is to add an update macro to the QAT (Quick Access Toolbar) -
the sample code at http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm should
do the job.

I am new to WOrd 07, but am familiar with 97. If I open a file in
and old format and then save it using "save as" and even save it to
the new format, why doesn't it change the name of the file I am
working on to the new file name? I also get a second word window
with the original file opened.
