user defined name to save a document based on a template

Hi there

Whenever I try to save a document based on a template Word proposes me
a generic name like "Document 1" or the like, depending on the
national version of Word I am using.
I would like to know if there is a simple method to force Word to
propose me a user-defined name. Something like "Monthly Report" to
which I just would have to ad a date manually.

Thanks in advance for any suggestion

Word proposes something like "Document1" only if there isn't anything in the
document's Title field in the Properties dialog.

If you want the same proposed name for all documents based on the same template,
then put that into the template's Title field and the documents will inherit it.

You can put a macro in the template that sets the Title field for each document
individually, including (if appropriate) the current date. See
