I want to automate the creation of a PDF "copy" of the currently active
document. The PDF image should have the same filename (without the ".doc"
extension, of course) and be written into the same folder as the currently
active document.

Every PDF-creating system I've seen (at least the ones I can afford!)
presents the operator with a dialog box requesting the name of the new file.
How can I pass the name of the currently active Word document into that
dialog box?
