not valid short file name

[JenFruels]

Hi,
I'm using MS Word 2003, WinXP. I was trying to save a file as "Web Page,
Filtered" but the file was unable to be saved. Its message was "Cannot save
the file. 'psr20595_FIN.htm' is not a valid short file name (maximum eight
characters, plus a three-character file extension)". I was quite confused
because I am able to save other files having the same format. It was my first
time to come across such problem. Hope somebody could enlighten me. Thanks

psr20595_FIN.htm

Howdy,

That filename has 12 characters plus three for the extension
(htm). All the characters before the "." are counted.

What you want would be of the form: 12345678.123

All the best,

Hi again,

I should have added that I have no idea WHY it wants a short
file name. I was only commenting in the fact that the
filename you use as the example does not fit the short
format.

All the best,

Ok thanks. I was just a bit confusing because all the other files even having
more than 8 characters can be saved as "Web Paged, Filtered".
