Operating System: Windows XP

Each time I import an ASCII file into a workbook the long and short names of the workbook are automatically generated. They both include the file extension (i.e. .txt, .dat), which is really annoying. I know I can remove it afterwards by editing the workbook properties but it takes a lot of time when there are many workbooks. Is there a way to systematically avoid the file extensions in the workbook names? Thanks.

By default, you are not supposed to see the extension name in worksheet short name, could you please tell us your build number? You can see this information from "Help --> About Origin", it looks like v8.0xxx (Bxxx).


When importing files by Import Simple ASCII button, you can check the Show Option Dialog at the bottom of file selecting dialog box. Then Origin will open the impASC dialog box, and then you can set how to rename workbooks in the (Re)Naming Worksheet and Workbook branch.

Thanks
