Hello,
After searching extensively on forums and not finding an answer... I am turning to you.
Here is my problem: I have a Word file linked to an Access database. Every time I do a "save as," the file title that appears in the document comes with the extension ".doc." However, I would like to remove this extension. A small clarification: I would like the masking of the extension to be independent of the file extension masking in the options.
Masking extensions is a workaround, and I know that one is never safe from a virus with a common file extension.
If someone can help me, I would greatly appreciate any advice.
NB: Some time ago, I did not encounter this issue when saving; the .doc did not appear... I am not sure what might have happened.
Oh yes, a little clarification to ensure I have been understood in my approach.
If for example, my file is named "Courrier83.doc,"
the display of the file name will show exactly the same, "Courrier83.doc." However, what I am looking to achieve is "Courrier83" without the ".doc" showing on my document.
Is this possible? (nb: my file could very well be named "courrier83.doc," but I want it to appear in the title of my Word page as "courrier83")
Thank you in advance for your responses.

I admit I didn't understand your entire message. If you simply want to hide the file extensions, here's the procedure:
Double-click on the "Computer" icon for Vista and 7 or "My Computer" for XP
From the menu bar, follow this path:
Tools \ Folder Options \ View tab
Check the box "Hide extensions for known file types."
Click OK.

Click OK.
Just a small clarification: for safety reasons, I would like the masking of the extension to be independent of the masking of extensions in the file options.
I still haven't found a solution and I'm open to any help.
Thank you for dedicating some of your time to me.
