I've run into the problem, using SaveAs on an open document. He is trying to rename an existing document that was used as the basis for an open document. I haven't tried it in Word 2003, but know that I have seen it. It is a bug, of sorts. It wouldn't be a bug if new documents were created from templates. -- Charles Kenyon Word New User FAQ & Web Directory: http://addbalance.com/word Intermediate User's Guide to Microsoft Word (supplemented version of Microsoft's Legal Users' Guide) http://addbalance.com/usersguide See also the MVP FAQ: http://www.mvps.org/word which is awesome! --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- This message is posted to a newsgroup.

Doug Robbins - Word MVP wrote: Hi Gene, Sorry, I cannot replicate that problem. If I set the read only attribute for the file, then when I try to rename it in the File Open dialog, a Confirm File Rename message box appears with the message "Are you sure you want to rename the read-only file 'filename.doc' to 'anotherfilename.doc'? If you click Yes, the file is renamed and opened. I'm not setting read-only. Just doing what any of us might do when we realize, getting to the point of naming the second ("saved as") file, that the first could have been better named. I'm not clear if you are unable to replicate what I'm doing or another procedure you've misunderstood it to be. Thanks for your help, Gene |

It is much more important to use templates in Word than it is in Word Perfect. It isn't so much a restriction as an empowerment, although it may not seem like it at first. Templates can hold a lot of stuff and using a template protects your basic structure. For more on the different kinds of templates and locations of templates ..... Thanks, Charles. I made the switch three years ago simply to be compatible with the world and the world of HR departments. But you're correct in saying that I've continued to use Word pretty much as I did WP, just with a lot more aggravations (e.g., headers). I'll take a good look at what you've written and the links.
