saving docs -same title for everyfile?

Everytime i try to save a doc in Word, the same author name and same title of 
the doc are the used. this occurs for every file being saved in Word. This is 
a problem because the name is not me. i think maybe because the first word 
doc that i opened was from the person whose name is appearing as the author.  

I go in under properties and change each file after saving it originally but 
then if i edit the file at a later time and click save, the author and title 
of the doc revert back to the original wrong ones. 

I have tried to fix this by going under -  tools, options, and setting the 
user info with my information but it didnt work. 

any help/advice would be much appreciated.  thanks. 

Does the document contain a field which sets the author name and
title? For example, a field such as { AUTHOR "David Stenn" } would
change the "Author" entry of the File>Properties dialog box to "David
Stenn".

Here's how to find out: With the problem document open, click ALT+F9.
Word displays field codes. Can you see one or more fields similar to
the one in my example above? If you can, simply remove the text,
including the quotation marks around it. (Of course, you can remove
the entire field, if you wish, but then the data will no longer
display in the document.)

When all of the above fields (if any) have been modified, press ALT+F9
again to hide field codes. Select the entire document and press F9 to
update field display.

Now you should be able to change the name and title of the document by
using the following procedure: On the File menu, click Properties.
Click the Summary tab. Enter the correct information, and then click
OK. Save the file.

The above must be made on a document-by-document basis. If documents
were created from a template (as opposed to using File>Save As with an
existing document), you should modify the template as well.

If this is happening with every document, then the title information is
coming from the template, which is what you need to modify. The author
information will come from the User Information tab of Tools | Options.

There may be a simpler way.  I have had this problem and fixed it once I
realized that a lot of information about a document was store in Properties
(File, Properties).  Whatever is listed as the Title, Author, etc in that
original document, including a template, will be carried along into every
new document that is created from it.  Thus, when I open a template I
created from a Word file years ago, Word will suggest the name of that
original document as the name for the new one.  I fixed this by opening the
template (a *.dot file), opening the Properties window and deleting the
Title and any other extraneous information, and then saving the changes.
Now when I save the newly-created document Word suggests a name consisting
of the first few words of the new document.  The same procedure works for
documents that are not actual Word templates, such as any Word document you
are using as forms for creating new ones.  Hope this helps.
