Ah! Thanks for the tip. It works great (after you save the file). (Contentious? Well, I like the filename for documents, so I'm happy.)

In OOo 1.1.x the filename is displayed unless the document has title, then the title is displayed, so the user has a choice and everyone can be happy. In OOo 2.0 only the file name will display, so 1/2 of the population will be happy. Those of use that edit web pages in OOo now get to look at underscores in our title bar. YEAH!
