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.

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: 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?

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