We use a programme for generating Word documents. It populates template files
and then generates all documents in Word. When the documents are generated,
they are named Doc1, Doc2, etc. We can generate up to 100 documents at a time
which makes it very time-consuming trawling through all documents to find the
one you want. The template files all have distinctive names. Is it possible
to have the Word files generated with names derived from the templates so
that we can more easily identify them?

Hi ScrabbleClare,

It sounds like that's an issue with whatever software you're using to create the documents. In many organisations, documents are
indexed by number as it's too difficult to Work with meaningful names. They then use another document or database to describe and
link to the indexed documents.
