G4 Lesson 2
While we work using MS Office applications, we will be asked what file name we wish to save our files as and
where to save them. The Save As option in the File menu can help us assign a file name for our work, and the Browse
folder section can help us find a place to save our file.
Good file names help us easily find the file we need. It should tell us what the file is about even before we open the
file.
Bad file names, on the other hand, cause delay and confusion.
1. File names must be specific. A good file name should tell us what the file is all about.
2. Do not make file names too long. Long file names do not always work well with all types of software.
3. Avoid using special characters. Some special characters are: !@#$%^&*()/?[]{}<>:;”
4. Do not use spaces. Use underscores, dashes, no spaces, or Camel case instead.
a. Underscores (example: file_name)
b. Dashes (example file-name)
c. No spaces (example: filename)
d. Camel case- The first letter of each word is capitalized, with no spaces in between words (example:
FileName)
