MORE INFORMATION

If you embed an unnamed Word document in another document, when the embedded document is opened, Word uses the name of the container document in the window title bar. If the name of the container document is 28 or more characters long and contains one or more blanks, the name displayed may be blank or may be a portion of the container document name that does not include the first characters of the container document name.
