## French Word 6.0 Error: "Invalid Filename (ERRFUSION1.DOC)

Q112780

The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0 (French), 6.0a (French)

## SYMPTOMS

In the French international, localized version of Word 6.0 for Windows, if you save a mail merge error report document using the default name (ERRFUSION1.DOC), the following error message occurs:

> This is not a valid filename. (ERRFUSION1.DOC)

This does not happen in the U.S. version of Word, which assigns the default filename MERGERR1.DOC for your mail merge error report document.

## CAUSE

The filename ERRFUSION1.DOC contains more than eight letters, which means MS-DOS and Windows cannot use the name.

## STATUS

We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

## WORKAROUND

Do not use the default filename for the mail merge error report. You must rename the file to save it.
