Did you use the Document Inspector on the document or are you using a
template from the Template Gallery? In either case, there's a
security/privacy option causing this issue. The controls you are using for
Title, Author, etc are bound to the document properties. Word has a security
option that will remove content from the file properties when you save the
document so that's why it continues to disappear.
To turn the option off:
- Click the Office Button
- Click Word Options
- In the Trust Center section, click Trust Center Settings
- Under Privacy Options, deselect "Remove personal information from file
properties on save".
Also, if using a template from the template gallery can you tell me which
one you used? I've reported several templates that exhibit this behavior and
want to make sure I didn't overlook any. :-)
Please post all follow-up questions to the newsgroup. Requests for

I have inserted a cover page into my document in Word 2007, but whenever I
key text into the placeholders for [Type Author Name] and [Type the
Company
Name], my own text disappears each time I attempt to save the cover page.
The location placeholders change back to the default text. How can I keep
the
placeholders from restoring the default text?
