.doc in filename in header - Word 2007

[Ugnz]

Hi all

I am using Word 2007, and I've made a header with just the filename in it,
but it's showing the .doc, which I don't want. Last time I did this, I
didn't get the .doc, and I'm not sure what I've done different this time.

Thanks

Maria

That's because you have Windows Explorer set to show you extensions. Turn
them off, you don't see the .doc.

Does that mean if I send the file to someone else or save it on a shared
drive and it's opened by someone whose Windows Explorer is set to show
extensions, then they'll get .doc when they print my doc?

And I've just tried to turn off the show extensions in Windows Explorer, and
it turns out that's not the reason. I have 5 Windows Explorer windows open,
and not a one of them is showing file extensions

Any other ideas?

You still can't control whether the recipient sees the extension.

Hi Ugnz,

What version of Windows are you using and did you turn off the
[ ] Hide Extensions for known file types in
Windows XP Explorer Tools=>Options=>View=>Advanced Setting?

If you then restart Word the document type shouldn't be showing (although because Word 2007 works in both the legacy (.doc) and new
(.docX/.docM) formats you may want to show the extension as a reminder of the file type you're working with if you're going to be
emailing the documents.

Hi Bob

I'm using XP Professional, and my extensions are definitely hidden and have
always been hidden.

I definitely don't want the .doc showing, as it's supposed to be a heading
for the document, not information. At this point, I figure I'll just type
the heading in, as it's becoming more effort than it's worth to use the
filename.

Thanks everyone for your help anyway.

You cannot insert part of a field, so the only ways to insert the filename
without the extension and have it viewable in that manner by anyone who
opens your document are to insert the filename as text with a macro e.g

Sub InsertfNameAndPath()
Dim pPathname As String
With ActiveDocument
If Len(.Path) = 0 Then
.Save
End If
If Right(.name, 1) = "x" Then
pPathname = Left$(.FullName, (Len(.FullName) - 5))
Else
pPathname = Left$(.FullName, (Len(.FullName) - 4))
End If
End With
Selection.TypeText pPathname
End Sub

Sub InsertFnameOnly()
Dim pPathname As String
With ActiveDocument
If Len(.Path) = 0 Then
.Save
End If
If Right(.name, 1) = "x" Then
pPathname = Left$(.name, (Len(.name) - 5))
Else
pPathname = Left$(.name, (Len(.name) - 4))
End If
End With
Selection.TypeText pPathname
End Sub
