Billie, That does sound like a good idea. I'll have to go ahead and do what I started on one of the cemeteries. All of the photo files say Waller Cemetery - number. So I'm having to open them up to see who they are and rename them without spaces and the hyphen. I might use this idea on the larger cemeteries. Thanks!

Wanda, All of us have problems at times with new software or tools, so you are not dumb, just inexperienced with this sort of tool. I have prepared a step by step instruction sheet using Word 2003.

You can format the batch rename to replace certain characters. I set mine up to replace the space with an underscore. Works great.

To late I already have it this way and don't want to change the format now. I just need a program that will take the spaces out of the names. I am also adding information to the names and some of the pictures aren't that clear to see the dates. I have done all my cemeteries that way and people seem to like them that way.
