I just ask this question as I do not believe that after so many versions of Word, it wouldn't exist.
Usually when I'm working on a document and I realize I have to rename it, I have to close the document down, go to file explorer and then rename it, and then opening it up again.
It's a procedure that's so ingrained in my usage pattern that I didn't realize until now that I'm actually having to open and close multiple windows/ applications etc. simply to rename a file. Surely, it's the year 2012, I should be able to do a simple thing like that with a few clicks right?
So is there a way to just rename the file name of a word /excel / office document without having to close it first?
