My DOC help in proceedure

I have Email confirmations of credit card bill payments sent to me. I'd like
to place
these in a folder in my DOC's. There is this problem though I get prompted to
replace the new with the old when i want to put it in the folder, as
they(the confirmations)are similar, the only difference is the date. I'd like
to keep
them,with dates, all together in one folder is there a way to do this?

What I do with similar things is to incorporate the date in the name so
bank statements would be:

Statement 20041028.doc
Statement 20041127.doc
Statement 20041223.doc
Statement 20050125.doc

The extension of '.doc' would differ depending on what type of file it
is.

If you use the ISO standard for dates - yyyymmdd - they will also sort
by date for you in Explorer.

You need to rename the document it when you save it, and probably work
the date out on your fingers like me 🙂

First change the name of the one that is there. Then save the new one.

"Saves as" and give the item a different name.
