Idea #13559: When saving in OpenOffice it should give the first few words as file-name option

Description

I often make documents which I quickly need to save. In MS Word it then simply gives the first few words as filename option which you can then of course change as you like, but it is at least something.

If I save something in OOo it doesn't give anything. So if I need to save something I cannot simply click save > save. I need to think of a name. And although that is not a hard thing, if I'm in the rush of work and I got a document which simply should have the same title as the first few words in the document (eg. "friday-list for Bob") I want it to go quick.

It is a small thing, but it would make my life again a little bit easier. :-)

Perhaps use the words from the header.

From a usability point of view, I think it's better to avoid things like this.

OO.o is not MS Office, and at times that is a good thing. This is one of those times. :-)

It sounds like you're asking for Oo.o to facilitate a bad work habit. Your document should have a filename right from the get-go so that you can save your work periodically in case you are interrupted by a computer failure.

I never use those anyway, but I can see why they would be useful.

Ghone:

My work habit on Office was to write the heading, save, and then write.

A timestamp for the default filename would be incredibly more useful to me.

So like 'Untitled Document 1'?
