SYMPTOMS
When you save a document for the first time and the Prompt For Document
Properties option is selected, the General tab of the Document Properties
dialog box contains incorrect information or no information at all.
CAUSE
Word fills in the information on the General tab of the Document Properties
dialog box before the save actually occurs. For example:
- When you name a document for the first time, the information on the
General tab of the Document Properties dialog box is blank.
-or-
- When you perform a Save As operation and rename the document, the
information on the General tab of the Document Properties dialog box
is from the previous Save.
WORKAROUND
Save your document first, and then check the document properties by
clicking Properties on the File menu.
MORE INFORMATION
Word can display the Document Properties dialog box the first time it saves
a document. This allows you to type information about the document, such
as a title, keywords, or comments.
To set these properties at any other time, click Properties on the File
menu.
