Save Dialog in Office Application does not set the Content Type to the one selected on Document Creation.

Question

We have a Library that supports 4 Content Types  ("Content Type 1","Content Type 2","Content Type 3","Content Type 4")
The user clicks new and selects "Content Type 3"
Word is started
The user edits the document
Clicks Save
"Choose Content Type" dialog is shown set to the Content Type "Content Type 1" because the Document content type is ordered as First (which also means Default)
What is expected is the "Choose Content Type" dialog to show "Content Type 3" as selected
Any ideas?

Hi,
According to your description, there is a library with four content types, you create a document with one of the content types, click save button in Office application,
then a “Choose Content Type” dialog will show up for selecting a content type.
I tried to reproduce as below:
1. Create a library with four content types;
2. In the ribbon of this library, “FILES”->”New Document”->”Content Type 1”, then the Office application with the predefined template will be opened for editing;
3. Click the “Save” button, choose the save path as the current library, click “OK” to finish the process;
4. Refresh the library in browser, the newly created document appears there.
In my test, there is no “Choose Content Type” dialog showing up when save the document in Office application.
I would suggest you provide more details about how to reproduce this issue(screenshot would be better) for further research.
Thanks
