Still not managed to rename 350+ files from eg. "MP031 Amazing Grace.ppt" to
"Amazing Grace MP031.ppt"
Any ideas, please?

The command line is your friend, assuming you have a decent editor.

Open command prompt in the desired directory.

Type command: dir /b *ppt > zonk.bat

Use a decent editor to turn the list of file names into REN (rename)
commands.

Type command: zonk

Type command: del zonk.bat

Q: Why do I not get an answer to my question(s)?
A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?
