    I just realised you are using the multiple file option. Not sure if you can do anything about that, I think not but would need to test. Can you not use the single file option? I think it is a better one anyway.

    It sounds like you are setting up the master document. If so, why not create a number of print layouts as you can have any number. That way you get to control the file name and can update any one of them at any time.

    Yes, you are correct, I am using master documents. So, how do you use print layout to control the file names?

    Second field in the first page of the wizard. Call the document whatever you want.

    Welcome to the forum.

    You can give the file any name you want in the first page of the wizard. If that is not what you mean, please elaborate a little.

    Peter, thanks for the welcome.

    When I generate a printed output, the resulting file names starts with "Chapter_01, Chapter_002, Chapter_03, etc. plus the topic name. For example, Chapter_01_Topic_name.doc. The desired output file name is the topic name and the .doc extension (without the "chapter_01" in front of the topic name).

    Thanks again!
