Given this further detail, I think you could save a bit of time by adding
both file paths to the Windows Send To menu so you could use them in File |
Open.

Perhaps my wording was a little misleading. For the documents I'm doing,
I
need to save in two locations; once for me on my local drive and once to a
network drive for someone else to access. I also might save more that
once
if I'm doing a long editing job. Save As is irritating for this purpose
because it changes the default location along with the save. I've been
using
Open|right click on filename|Copy|navigate to save location|Paste. This
is
not all that much trouble. I was just looking for something a little
smoother. Thanks for the advice.

Alternatively, you could take the page and your problem along to a group
with VBA or Programming in the name (but also Word), and ask there. I'm
sure there's a way to adapt the macro to ask you where, but I haven't a
clue
how. Or just explain your problem there and perhaps they can help with
the
File | Send To approach.

Why do you need to change to a new location during the Save process?
How
often are you anticipating changing locations? E.g., let's say you have
access to different network drives depending on your location, you could
duplicate the macro and use a different one depending on place.

Or is it that you want to sort your backups into folders as you are
saving
them?

Daiya,
Please bear with me. I know very little about programming. It
appears that
you have solved the problem of the changing default drive. However,
it also
appears that the backup location is fixed to one location. I need to
be able
to change to a new location during the save process; much like the
"Save As"
function does. If I could figure out how to get the "File/Send To"
command
to let me enter or browse for a new location, that would work just
fine.
Thanks,
Bill

I want to keep a running copy of my work in Word 2003. After saving
my
document on my local drive, what is the quickest and easiest way to
save it
again to either a floppy or network drive without (and this is the
important
part) changing the default drive. It looks like "Send To" might
serve this
purpose but I can't figure out how to put in or browse for a new
pathname.
Thanks, Bill
