Default How to save a word document without over-writing the template?

Try this...open the file properties for that file. Check the "read only"
attribute and then "apply". This forces the user to save the file every time
with a new file name. this protects the original from being changed. Hope
this helps.

Hi,

can anyone out there, please help me! I would like to create a template that
when you click on 'Save', it will automatically direct you to 'Save As' as a
word document, '.doc' instead of '.dot'. As I don't want it to save on the
template and destroy the template.

Is there a way or some how programming to set this function on a template?

Please help,
wel
