>Yes, it brings up the Save As dialog, but the name is not pre-filled with an intelligent choice. No, but it's usually helpfully preselected so a single keystroke, changes the name. >Many of my files begin with "I'm ..." and sometimes the best that Word 97 can come up with is "I7.doc". >Well, that "I7.doc" is a whole lot better than LibreOffice's "Untitled 1", which will overwrite the last "Untitled 1" it already had me save. Personally, I dislike that feature of word because typically I do not want my files saved by the first thing i've written and yes I care about file names and take the time to name things sensibly and even put them in related folders. Also, it should automatically detect an untitled1 and enumerate to untitled2 if untitled1 exists, again this is how it's always worked for me. So your file overwriting example seems a tad dubious to me. I have to be honest, of all the gripes i've heard, this one's just a bit ridiculous. The save feature works exactly as it should. A program should allow me to choose a name for a file or choose a reasonable generic default, not decide what it thinks I want. If I see an untitled1.doc around, I know I forgot to rename a file and I investigate, if I see I7.doc or a my name is.doc, I dunno what the hell it is. Maybe it's something I forgot to rename, maybe it's something I wrote before and forgot about, who knows?

So your file overwriting example seems a tad dubious to me. But it doesn't! That's what my complaint is about! Do you think I'm just making it up? >I have to be honest, of all the gripes i've heard, this one's just a bit ridiculous. The save feature works exactly as it should. A program should allow me to choose a name for a file or choose a reasonable generic default, not decide what it thinks I want. To me, this reads as, "I read your text, but I don't think your problem is real, because I think it should work differently." I think you should do a deep examination into how you relate and communicate with people, because you spent this whole thread invalidating what I'm saying and telling me the problems I'm describing in detail are not real problems. You've given me the impression of being an insensitive and careless person.
