Using a simple SaveAs name of 'wally:21' In WinXP you will get the popup: wally:21 The above filename is invalid (OOo 2.4.1 & StarOffice Writer 8/11) MS Word (2000) will give you: The Internet address 'wally:21.doc' is not valid. Type the correct address. MS Word (97) in Win2KPro SP4 (NTFS) will give you: The file name, location, or format 'wally:21.doc' is not valid. Type the file name and location in the correct format, such as c:\location\file name. So following the hint from the last; in OOo I _can_ save as c:\tempdir\wally and it saves as wally.odt in my c:\tempdir The following characters are invalid in file names Windows FAT32 and NTFS: ? * / \ : < > | In linux you will get no such popup as the name is valid for that OS and the file saves as wally:21.odt. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
