  4. Files • Label files by the way you will use them when you have 49,000 of them! • If it is a file that you will send or share, name it so that the recipient will know what and whose it is.

  5. File Punctuation Tips • Don’t start or endyour filename with a space, period, hyphen, or underline. 2. Keep your filenames to a reasonable length and be sure they are under 31 characters. 3. Most operating systems are case sensitive; always use lowercase. 4. Avoid using spaces and underscores; use a hyphen instead. You can use all numbers and periods if you want short file names. Example: Grade level, Grading Period, Day, Year OR Gradel level, Month, Date, Year, etc.

  6. File Punctuation Do not use any of these common characters/symbols: < left angle bracket $ dollar sign + plus sign % percent > right angle bracket ! exclamation point ` backtick & ampersand * asterisk ‘ single quotes | pipe { left bracket ? question mark “ double quotes = equal sign } right bracket / forward slash : colon \ back slash blank spaces @ at sign Bad filenames: Web Browsers see: F&A Costs.html F&amp;A%20Costs.html my PDF file#name.pdf my%20PDF%20file%23name.pdf Good filenames: fa-costs/index.html my-pdf-file-name.pdf
