The program keeps saving the same file with different names

0 votes

We've been using the program and we really like it.

However, everytime we save our work, it keeps saving it with an alphanumeric file name...and it's also different.

What setting do we need to enable to ensure that everytime the file we're using saves it with our designated same file name?

Please assist; thank you.
