When I try to save a file (Save as) ony the first
character is listed as the file name. I can change the
name using explorer and then it is OK. Any idas?
 
There have been a few posts describing the same problem. I searched google and
found this:

The last post in the thread suggested an answer. (I think it has something to
do with WindowsXP). I don't think I've ever seen this option in Win98 or
WinNT.)

I think I have the solution to the problem:

Excel was running in Windows 95 compatibility mode. When I disabled
compatibility mode the file name problem went away.
