Seeing Text File Names when Saving Excel Files
I am new to Excel 2007.
I am saving a new Excel file and I want to give it a similar name to an existing text file so that I know by the filename that the two files are related to the same project. However, when I "Save As" the Excel file in the selected directory, the only other files I see in that directory are the other Excel files. I don't see any of the other files that I know are in there (word, powerpoint, pdf, etc.). In prior versions of Excel, I have been able to see all of the files in a destination directory....is that still possible with the 2007 version of Office? If so, how do I do that? |

Hi,
I see what you mean, you can select Text Files (*.txt) but there is no All Files option and *.* does not refresh the list. If this is not a but it is an oversight. -- If this helps, please click the Yes button Cheers, Shane Devenshire "jkiser" wrote: I am new to Excel 2007.

Hi,
This isn't much of a solution but you can do a File, Open command and in there you can pick *.* and preview the files of all types. Then switch back to Save As and proceed based on what you discovered in File Open. -- If this helps, please click the Yes button Cheers, Shane Devenshire "jkiser" wrote: Hi to you too....thanks for the reply.
