The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Word for Windows 95
  • Microsoft Word for Windows 95 7.0a
This article was previously published under Q193741

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.
