Word 2007/2003 file name length

[wjr]

Is there a way to restrict the length of word file save names? We have
a few users who allow word to create the file name and in many cases the
file name length is over 100. It is causing problems when other
applications have to deal with those files. Is there any registry
setting which can restrict the length to a reasonable number?

I don't know but doubt (FWIW!) that there is such a fix.

If you fill out the title property in your templates, Word will propose
this as a document name in new documents based on the templates.
