Before you begin

1. Login to Microsoft Office Live Workspace
2. Click on the Workspace on the left pane, to view the list of all the documents.

Scenario

Imagine that you want to add a Microsoft Word document - named ChallaPrabhu.doc -, from your local machine that is already stored in the Microsoft Office Live Workspace.

Procedure

• Click the arrow to the right of the Add Document menu , and then click Single Document
• In the Choose dialog box select the filenme - challaprabhu.doc.- that is available in the Office Live Workspace
  The Microsoft Office Live Workspace, displays the following dialog box:
  The file "challaprabhu.doc" already exists
  Do you want to replace the existing file? Yes, or No, or Cancel
• Click No.
  Files by name challaprabhu (1),  is stored in the Workspace.

Question

Why can't a dialog box be provided for entering a new name before the filename is stored in to the Office Live.

Note: In the Microsoft Office Live Workspace, the renaming of file is done Edit mode or by using the rename popup menu. This method is not the right way to rename a file after it is stored in the Worksapce..

Important: This can be avoided.

Errr...can I suggested this be downgraded from "very important" to "incredibly minor nice-to-have". I'd much rather the OLW team concentrate on building things that are new and interesting rather than something that saves a couple of mouse clicks on a very very occasional basis.
