File name

Is it possible to save a file name with color in it? For example:
"Letter to Susan.doc" and have the word Susan in another color than black.

No. Why would you want to?

Not that I've ever seen - and if you could, it would be a function of your
operating system, not Office. May I suggest creating folders and filing your
documents in the applicable location?

An interesting idea, but I don't think there is any way of doing it.

Yes, within the Windows Explorer, if you compress the file and the name
will turn "blue", or encrypt it and it will turn "green". Otherwise no,
you don't get to play with the filename colors.

The reason I would like to do this, is because we have many documents that
are the same name except for the last Number or Letter and I would like to
highlight that part of the file name.

Interestingly enough, I was wanting to do this also today. I would like to
keep a group of files together for historical purposes, but be able to
distinguish certain ones that shouldn't be used going forward.
I tried compressing (zipping) the file, which was the only option I could
find like suggested, but the name still remained black. Could you expand on
this option?

The NTFS file system provides the compression and coloring. Presuming
Windows XP (because it natively supports zip folders) open Windows, Help
and Support, look up "compression" and then click "compress a file or
folder on an NTFS drive".
