The default filename that Word proposes is one of the following:

1. The first text in the document, up to the first punctuation mark or
line/paragraph break.

2. The text in the Title field of the document Properties. If the Title
field of the document template is not empty, the Title field of the template
will be propagated to the document.

Unless the subject line is the first (non-header) text in the document (1)
doesn't do you any good, but you can use (2) if your template includes a
UserForm to ask for the subject. This can then be written to the Title
property and automatically inserted in the document as the subject line via
a Title or DocProperty field in the template.

HI

There is probably a real easy solution to my question but here goes.

I want to save letters with the default name being the subject line of the
letter. When I say subject, Im not talking about the document information,
but the acutal line on the letter

Subject: This is the subject I want to use as the default filename

I want to prefix it with the initials of the current user so the document
should be saved something like

TB-This is the subject I want to use as the default filename


Any help would be appreciated

Many Thanks
