I would try renaming that key, rather than deleting it, to see if it fixes the problem. If you end up with more problems, instead, you can always rename it again.
This article explains a bit about the Bags items in general:

But, let me make sure I understand the problem.
1. You have a file name Oldbubbie.doc. It exists.
2. You've recently edited Newbubbie.doc.
3. When you click on File in the Word menu, Oldbubbie.doc shows up in the list. (Does Newbubbie.doc show up, too, by the way, and if it does, does clicking on it open the correct file?)
4. When you click on Oldbubbie.doc in the list, Newbubbie.doc opens instead.
Is that correct? If you have Excel or another Office program that remembers recent file names, do they exhibit the same issue?
Let's see if renaming the registry entry fixes it. If not, there might be something more sinister going on. When file pointers appear to be messed up, I start to worry about file, folder, and disk corruption.

I ran the Regscanner you mentioned and this is where I found the name of the
old file. What is your suggestion on this? Should I delete the information
found in that key?
Thanks for your help!!
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ShellNoRoam\Bags\1771\Shell ItemPos1280x800(1) REG_BINARY

You may have searched the Registry but the value may not be found with
a search. Regedit in XP does not find that binary data for me but a
third party application (Regscanner) does.
Have a look at the value of "Settings" in the key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Word\Data
