The first vital thing about preservable digital objects is to use the correct file naming procedures.
The whole filename must be in small caps and have no spaces.
Spaces must be replaced with dashes (-).
There cannot be any other formatting characters such as ()#/ etc...

Convert your document or file to an open format first. For documents use PDF formats.

Then use the following file naming convention:

authorname-firstwordoftitle-2012.docx

or if saving as a pdf file, which is preferred:

authorname-firstwordoftitle-2012.pdf

or if saving as an xml file, which is preferred:

authorname-firstwordoftitle-2012.xml
