When I wanted to save a file, it used to come up automatically with the first
few words in my document: example "Save as Trying to find the answer to" and
all I had to do was click the save button. Now, it automatically says:
example "Doc7". Is there anyway I can fix this? I use Word 2003.
Thanks,

Word uses the first few words of the document only if the Title box is
empty in the File Properties dialog. If there's something in the
Title box, that's the suggested file name for the first save.

It sounds like you might have gotten something stuck into the Title
box of the Normal.dot template, which then shows up in every new
document.

Use the Open dialog, go to the Templates folder (you can find out what
that is by looking in Tools Options File Locations), and open the
Normal.dot template. Empty the Title box, save and close the template.
That should get you back to the original behavior.
