Default Proper filename suggestion from document title

I am using Word 2003 and XP on Win XP Professional.

I tried to use the Document Title (found in "Properties" of a Word Document)
to correctly suggest a file name when I try to Save the Document. However,
for some reasons, whenever you enter any non-alphanumeric characters, it
truncates the file-name suggestion from that non-alphanumeric character, and
the whole suggestion becomes rather incomplete and useless.

For example, if I add to a new document the title "Revenue - last year"
(entered through "properties"), it will suggest as its file name when I try
to save the document as "Revenue ", truncating everything after the hyphen.
Analogous could be said for a title such as "Meeting (notes from John)", the
filename suggestion will become "Meeting ".

Is this behavior a bug in Word? Is there a remedy for this odd behavior of
this feature? Has anyone encountered this and have a suggestion how to find
a remedy to have the right suggestion?

Thanks,

-- Cieous
