There is a new feature (?), I would term a glitch in Office 2007.
When I am in a folder, say "My Documents", and (try to) save a Word
(or Access) file with the same name as a folder in "My Documents",
instead of saving the file, it just opens the folder, and gives me a
new name for the file (one that I do not want).
If I am saving as an RTF file, even when I have selected "Save As
Type....RTF" , if I do not type ".RTF", then it opens the folder
instead of saving the file. There is an easy way around this, of
course: If I type ".RTF". then it saves as desired (or I can misspell
the name).
Obviously this is not that big a deal, But this is something I do MANY
times per week, and I find it really irritating that the program does
this. Office 2003 didn't. I assume it is a "special" new advanced
feature that is supposed to be more efficient, but it is not for me. I
probably will do this 1000 times+ in a year, and I like not having to
type the extension. What use is the "Save As Type" selection if I have
to type the extension anyway? And why dos it give me a new name for
the file, after I typed one in? This is what is REALLY irritating. If
it didn't do this, it would be OK.
So enough ranting. My question is, is this a feature that can be
turned off?
thanks
