QuestionHow do I change around my Microsoft word files into new categories and file names now that they are old and have changed?Community AnswerThis sounds like a daunting task, and may be time consuming, but the system is really the same as reorganizing paper files. Determine the new categories that you will use and the names of the files that belong in each one. Then you can very easily use the right-click button on your mouse to drag files into their new locations. Instead of right-clicking, you can highlight the name of the file and select "Cut." Then move the cursor to the desired new location and click "Paste."

QuestionFile Folders: Should it be Smith, John & Anderson, Julie OR Smith, John & Julie Anderson?Community AnswerIn both of the examples that you gave, the first name is "Smith," so the item will be filed in the same place. The more important question is whether you should label that item as "Smith & Anderson" or "Anderson & Smith," because this will affect the filing location. There really is no "right" answer to these questions, as long as you are consistent.
