Naming file attachments for discussion

An Excel spreadsheet was attempted to be loaded, but it had not been chosen as an Excel file from the document type menu...it was left as doc, and doc was typed into the file name. So the file I downloaded was called doc.doc. Similarly, someone tried to share a powerpoint, and it was called ppt.ppt. So, look for the "drop down" menu of file types to see what matches what you are trying to load - pdf,doc,etc. Then choose a descriptive name - like CA-climate, with no exension.

To clarify, this is related to when you want to add a file to share with the group. You click the link "include a file with this post" and then you have to specify the correct file type from a drop down menu of choices, and then give the first part of the filename only without a ".ppt" for example.
