Using hyphens in file names

Michael

Can one use hyphens in an Excel file name? And if so, is
it different from 2000 and 2002 versions?

Hi!

Quote from Excel Help under filenames:

File names cannot include any of the following characters: forwar
slash (/), backslash (\), greater-than sign (>), less-than sign (<)
asterisk (*), question mark (?), quotation mark ("), pipe symbol (|)
colon :)), or semicolon (;).

Must say, the first time I read it it surprised me: it let me us
apostrophes, which was nice for pedantic punctuation!;)
