<snip> When you Save As should ensure the box "automatic filename extension" is ticked (checked). If you do this you do not need to (must not?) type the "extension" yourself. I think "extension" is the official term for what you call "suffix" - the .odt, .doc or whatever that Windows uses to decide what to do when you double click a file in a folder. If that box is not ticked then you must enter the extension yourself. This is true in my 2.4.1 so is not new to 3.x. Note that a file without an extension might be in the correct format even though Windows can't see that. Windows uses *only* the extension to determine how to open a file. You can change this for an individual file by right clicking its name and selecting Open With .... Or just rename the file ignoring the warning about the file possibly becoming unusable. -- Harold Fuchs London, England Please reply *only* to [email protected]
