Pathagoras Tip of the Week

    If you wish to rename documents in a folder, Word mandates that you do so one at a time. If you want to add a 'Subject' attribute to your document, you have to go through several steps.

    The process that Word demands to accomplish what should be an easy task to keep you folders 'clean, tidy, and well organized (in terms of document names, anyway) is quite arduous and tedious.

    Pathagoras provides a tool that makes the process incredibly easy.

    Using Pathagoras Names & Subjects editor, you can quickly rename documents within a selected folder to
     (1) comply with established naming conventions;

    (2) adopt the prefix/suffix naming style;

    (3) add a descriptive 'subject' as an additional identifier for each document;

    (3) remove illegal characters from document names in preparation for converting a folder of terms into a glossary.

    We originally created this module to make it easy to adopt the prefix/suffix naming style in your office (2 above). But as it gained popularity among users, the much broader extent of it functionality became immediately apparent.

    This is one feature with which you should become familiar sooner rather than later. Click the Names & Subjects Editor link in the panel at the left for step-by-step, illustrated instructions on how to use this powerful tool.
