I am using Word 2003. I transcribe cases for Justice Dept. I need to save
them with names that identify the region, case number and year. I do it like
this 41-23456-08. My manager has told me that I must use a period before the
year, like this 41-23456.08. I am sure I once read somewhere that one should
not use a period in the file name as the name is actually 41-23456-08.doc and
by putting a period before the "08" it can cause the file to become corrupt.
Is that correct or would it be in order to name the file 41-23456.08? Your
advice appreciated.
