change microsoft word title bar document name file

[Guest]

Microsoft word title bar used to have file name as the window title.
In Office XP the title bar shows as "document1" , "document2", "document3"
...... and so on..

I would like to display the file name in the title bar.
Anyone knows where to set this option.

The generic names are only used when the doc is first created. As soon as you
save the file with the name of your choice, the new name will appear while
the file is open.

Add the line
ActiveWindow.Caption = ActiveDocument.FullName
to an autoopen macro http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm to display
the document name/path in the title bar. But note that the document must be
saved before it has a name to display. Document1 etc are the default working
names.

Thanks,
But these are not the new documents . I am opening existing douments.

If that is the case, then they are being treated as templates, and you are
not opening the documents themselves but new documents based on them. This
can happen if you are opening the documents from Windows Explorer and the
file associations have become scrambled so that the default action for the
..doc file type is New instead of Open.
