.workbook blues

[wood.22mark]

Hi! and respects;

Just had some drama this morning. I could not find a file after saving it multiple times. I changed the file name and saved it again and could not find it. Again! All my other files saved -- I had maybe 15 of them open at the time. Weird.

I figured it out though. The rogue file was named P0000name.workbook.rtf and the renamed file was P0000name1.workbook.rtf. Apparently, AWP sometimes does special things to files with a .workbook extension.

Heads up.

Question for the AWP techs: are there any other naming conventions I should avoid?

Thank you for your time. I love this program and have repurchased it every time you asked since, I dunno, some time last century? A while. I intend to keep using AWP until the end of electricity as we know it.

For anyone who is curious, P0000name.workbook; P is for Perils of Rejean Charles (a working title); 0000 is chapter number. I reserve 0000 for notes and whatnot. Things that won't publish. Because of the nature of this tale, I have P0000name files with extensions like .monster; .spiders; .vendors; .students; .professors; .candidate.... The workbook file is where I dump name ideas that I haven't figured a use for yet. Or research notes for names I haven't sorted.

How exactly did you save that file? Which command did you use? What did you type in the “Save document as” dialog?

By the way, if the filename is “P0000name1.workbook.rtf”, the file extension is “.rtf”, not “.workbook”.
