.doc in filename in header - Word 2007
Hi all
I am using Word 2007, and I've made a header with just the filename in it, but it's showing the .doc, which I don't want. Last time I did this, I didn't get the .doc, and I'm not sure what I've done different this time. Thanks Maria |

That's because you have Windows Explorer set to show you extensions. Turn
them off, you don't see the .doc. -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] Tech Editor for "Microsoft Publisher 2007 For Dummies" "Ugnz" wrote in message ...

Does that mean if I send the file to someone else or save it on a shared
drive and it's opened by someone whose Windows Explorer is set to show extensions, then they'll get .doc when they print my doc?

.doc in filename in header - Word 2007
And I've just tried to turn off the show extensions in Windows Explorer, and
it turns out that's not the reason. I have 5 Windows Explorer windows open, and not a one of them is showing file extensions Any other ideas?

You still can't control whether the recipient sees the extension.

Hi Ugnz,
What version of Windows are you using and did you turn off the [ ] Hide Extensions for known file types in Windows XP Explorer Tools=Options=View=Advanced Setting? If you then restart Word the document type shouldn't be showing (although because Word 2007 works in both the legacy (.doc) and new (.docX/.docM) formats you may want to show the extension as a reminder of the file type you're working with if you're going to be emailing the documents. === "Ugnz" wrote in message ...

.doc in filename in header - Word 2007
Hi Bob
I'm using XP Professional, and my extensions are definitely hidden and have always been hidden. I definitely don't want the .doc showing, as it's supposed to be a heading for the document, not information. At this point, I figure I'll just type the heading in, as it's becoming more effort than it's worth to use the filename. Thanks everyone for your help anyway.

You cannot insert part of a field, so the only ways to insert the filename
without the extension and have it viewable in that manner by anyone who opens your document are to insert the filename as text with a macro e.g Sub InsertfNameAndPath() Dim pPathname As String With ActiveDocument If Len(.Path) = 0 Then .Save End If If Right(.name, 1) = "x" Then pPathname = Left$(.FullName, (Len(.FullName) - 5)) Else pPathname = Left$(.FullName, (Len(.FullName) - 4)) End If End With Selection.TypeText pPathname End Sub Sub InsertFnameOnly() Dim pPathname As String With ActiveDocument If Len(.Path) = 0 Then .Save End If If Right(.name, 1) = "x" Then pPathname = Left$(.name, (Len(.name) - 5)) Else pPathname = Left$(.name, (Len(.name) - 4)) End If End With Selection.TypeText pPathname End Sub http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm and manually -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Ugnz wrote: Hi Bob I'm using XP Professional, and my extensions are definitely hidden and have always been hidden.
