There may be a simpler way. I have had this problem and fixed it once I
realized that a lot of information about a document was store in Properties
(File, Properties). Whatever is listed as the Title, Author, etc in that
original document, including a template, will be carried along into every
new document that is created from it. Thus, when I open a template I
created from a Word file years ago, Word will suggest the name of that
original document as the name for the new one. I fixed this by opening the
template (a *.dot file), opening the Properties window and deleting the
Title and any other extraneous information, and then saving the changes.
Now when I save the newly-created document Word suggests a name consisting
of the first few words of the new document. The same procedure works for
documents that are not actual Word templates, such as any Word document you
are using as forms for creating new ones. Hope this helps.

Everytime i try to save a doc in Word, the same author name and same title
of
the doc are the used. this occurs for every file being saved in Word. This
is
a problem because the name is not me. i think maybe because the first word
doc that i opened was from the person whose name is appearing as the
author.

I go in under properties and change each file after saving it originally
but
then if i edit the file at a later time and click save, the author and
title
of the doc revert back to the original wrong ones.

I have tried to fix this by going under - tools, options, and setting the
user info with my information but it didnt work.

any help/advice would be much appreciated. thanks.
