When you insert the document name in a Works 4.0 word processing document, the file name is always inserted with the extension, even if you configured Windows 95 to hide extensions for registered file types.

MORE INFORMATION

To insert the file name of a word processing document, do the following:

  1. Start Works.
  2. On the Insert menu, click Document Name.

  1. Double-click My Computer.
  2. On the View menu, click Options.
