Word - Mail merge file names

My co-worker is working on Mail merge in Word based on data in Excel. She was able to save those docs as individual documents and name those files based on the info in the header (I think). So far so good, but...
The issue is, the data in the header is a Project Number that is in the format of ABCD-123-8(888)--XY-99, but the file name is cutting at the first - and it is just ABCD. She would like to save those files with the full Project Number.

Is there a way to tell Word: Use all of that data. Do not cut it by first '-' ?
