Try with Word or Excel for the same effect then. Come on, slowcoach.
You asked for an example and I gave you one. Don't try to weasel out of
it now.

I still don't see the problem, it just tells you to close the document
and rename it.

Thass right, I have to close the doc, rename it, and then open it
again. What kind of ****ty UI is that, when I could just rename it and
the app knows that this has happened, and carries right on.


Umm .. unless I've got this arse about face somewhere lets assume you
have a Word doc open under say Office or Openoffice or similar.

If I want to save that and any particular format it gives me the option
to just "save" it as it is, inc any alterations I've done since I opened
it, under the same name or location, or "save as" which means a
different format different name and location if I so want?.

Then I've got two files, rather than having Word continue editing the
one file under its new name.


Well is that a serious problem Tim?. You can use the "chooser" to rename
the doc without even opening it but really I've never found that to be a
problem at all!.

I sometimes re save the file if I'm making small changes to it a sort of
mark 1 and 2, 3 etc but if you do make a spare unwanted file just delete
it..
