[Lexicog] Shoebox Export filenames

I have 7000 sound files so far in my lexical database. Their filenames
Export nicely from Shoebox to Microsoft Word RTF as Hyperlinks. I have quite
a few sound files whose names end in a number, for example, the difference
between convincehim.wav, convincehim2.wav, and convincehim3.wav, to
differentiate different verbs which are glossed by the same English word. I
have observed that Microsoft Word does not recognize the filenames which end
in a number and cannot play those files when I click on their hyperlinks. Is
there a setting in MS Word to get it to recognize the numbered filenames, or
must I find another way to name related files without using numbers on the
end of the filenames?

Thanks,
Wayne
