Why can't I rename a Word doc from inside Word while it's open?
I always cringe when I realize I've named my doc the wrong this cause it
means it'll take me several steps to change it. WAY TOO HARD! ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the suggestions with the most votes.

This is nothing to do with Word. It's a characteristic of the file system.

Why can't I rename a Word doc from inside Word while it's open?
File Save as with a new name. You can delete the old one at your leisure.
I can't think of any application that allows you to rename an open file. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org jfilcik wrote: I always cringe when I realize I've named my doc the wrong this cause it means it'll take me several steps to change it.

Why can't I rename a Word doc from inside Word while it's open
Great, maybe, but, I venture to say, impossible to implement.

Why can't I rename a Word doc from inside Word while it's open
I would think it could be implemented but I suspect it would cause more ills
than it would cure. It isn't exactly an onerous task to correct such a mistake. And, if you really regularly wrongly name files, you could easily write a macro to do the necessary. -- Enjoy, Tony "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ...

Why can't I rename a Word doc from inside Word while it's open
Where was the suggestion? The OP looked more to me like a question (minus
the punctuation) and then a petty gripe about how much trouble it is to rename an existing file. Like Graham said. FileSave As and type the new name. How much easier can it really get? -- Greg Maxey/Word MVP See: http://gregmaxey.mvps.org/word_tips.htm For some helpful tips using Word. "Alejandro Ramirez" wrote in message ...
