Default File saving anomaly

Here is the situation:

I start with a Word Document called Lease1.doc

I save the file as Lease2.doc (File Save As)

I make some changes to Lease2.doc

I save the file Lease2.doc (Click Save Button)

I save the file as Lease3.doc (File Save As)

I make some changes to Lease3.doc

I save the file Lease3.doc (Click Save Button)

I save the file as Lease4.doc (File Save As)

I make some changes to Lease4.doc

I save the file Lease4.doc (Click Save Button)

I save the file as Lease5.doc (File Save As)

I make some changes to Lease5.doc

I save the file Lease5.doc (Click Save Button)

Then I open Lease2.doc and the document no longer looks like Lease2.doc,
instead it looks just like Lease5.doc. In fact, any of the Leasex.doc files
that I open all look like Lease5.doc. Somehow the changes on the last
document overwrote and got saved to all the previous documents.

Any ideas???

Can't replicate the problem. When you re-open Lease2.doc, what is displayed
in the Title Bar at the top of the screen?

It reads as lease2.doc. This has never happened before and I have used
word for 10 years +.
Could frames cause this? we were experimenting with them on the
problematic XLS before this happened

Thanks Much
