In the File->Save As dialog, have you unchecked the Automatic file name extension checkbox? If so, then none of your files will have extension on their names, and so changing the format will not change the name. Check that box and get different names for different formats automatically. -- Andy Pepperdine On this mailing list help is provided by volunteers.
