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

Part of the "Save as" is to change the name. You must do this yourself as no
one else has the foggiest notion what your desire. "rgw1085" wrote in message ... I am new to WOrd 07, but am familiar with 97.

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. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org rgw1085 wrote: I am new to WOrd 07, but am familiar with 97.

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? Pam Graham Mayor wrote: Change the name of the file where?

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 Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Pamelia Caswell via OfficeKB.com wrote: Graham: I think rgw1085 means the file name at the top of the window doesn't change to the new name.
