insert "save as" in macro
I have a macro to open a document but I want it to also give me the "save as"
screen right away. I tried this but can't click stop on the macro from the "save as" screen. Thanks! |

insert "save as" in macro
If you are opening a document and going immediately to Save As, your
document probably should be a template and you should be using File New. Then the document on the screen will have all the text from your template but will be a new document and the user will have to give it a new name to save it. It is very difficult to write over the original template. To get the SaveAs dialog box, you need to write code. If a template is not what you want, write back and I or someone else will give you directions. -- Charles Kenyon Word New User FAQ & Web Directory: http://addbalance.com/word Intermediate User's Guide to Microsoft Word (supplemented version of Microsoft's Legal Users' Guide) http://addbalance.com/usersguide See also the MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/ which is awesome! --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- This message is posted to a newsgroup.

Every initial save is a Save As, though.

Charles' and Suzanne's posts were each helpful. My problem was that,
although I had tried using a template, I wasn't opening it as a template. Once I opened it as a template and it assigned Document # as the temporary name, it gave me the save as screen even if I inadvertently clicked CTRL-S. Now that I have my macro set up to open the template the proper way, I think my problem is solved! Thanks!!! "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: Every initial save is a Save As, though. -- Suzanne S.

Uhm - the proper way to use a template is to create an new document.
When you save that document you'll need to assign a name. If it isn't working this way, and if you have a Word template, something is wrong. -- Charles Kenyon Word New User FAQ & Web Directory: http://addbalance.com/word Intermediate User's Guide to Microsoft Word (supplemented version of Microsoft's Legal Users' Guide) http://addbalance.com/usersguide See also the MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/ which is awesome! --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- This message is posted to a newsgroup.
