Default Default "Save As" Filename

There is no need to delete the filename. By default, as soon as you select
Save for a new document, the File, SaveAs dialog opens with the suggested
filename already active (selected and highlighted). Just pressing any
character will replace the suggested file name so there is no need to make
any effort to either select or delete the filename.

Is there a way to stop Word from filling in a filename when a file is
first saved? I find the need to delete the suggested filename annoying.

I found this: http://word.mvps.org/faqs/macrosvba/SetDefFilename.htm
on the Word MVP site, but assuming I'm understanding it correctly, it
seems to deal with a one-time fix rather than a global (everytime) change.
I'd like the filename box to be empty the first time I save a file. Is
this possible?

I'm using Word 2003, version 11.8026.8036, on a Win XP machine, also fully
patched (BOMK, anyway :-) )

Thanks,

Dan
