I would like to have the file save as one of my bookmarks when I save the
file for the first time. Usually the default is the first several words at
the beginning of the document, but I would like to have it default to one of
the form fields I have the users type in. Is that possible?

Thanks

Use the .Result property of the formfield to get the information that has
been entered into it

With ActiveDocument
.SaveAs .FormFields("formfieldbookmarkname").Result
End With

Looks like this will do it.... but I'm not sure where this statement needs to
be placed. anywhere on the document? How do I get in the "mode" to enter
the statement, IE. Insert field?

Thanks for you help, and baby stepping me through

It needs to be located in the template from which you are creating the
document.

See the article "What do I do with macros sent to me by other newsgroup
readers to help me out?" at:

Ahh.. Macro. Very cool, it works!

One more question... I tried to setup the "SaveAs" fuction as well and did
not find the correct syntax, can you look at this and correct my mistake?
Thanks again

Sub FileSave()
'
' FileSave Macro
' Saves the active document or template
'
With ActiveDocument
.SaveAs .FormFields("Company_Name").Result
End With


End Sub
Sub FileSaveAs()
'
' FileSaveAs Macro
' Saves a copy of the document in a separate file
'
With ActiveDocument
Dialogs .SaveAs.FormFields("Company_Name").Result
End With



End Sub

You want both macros to do the same thing. Therefore, use exactly the same
code in both of them - FileSave() and FileSaveAs

With ActiveDocument
.SaveAs .FormFields("formfieldbookmarkname").Result
End With

Looking at the OP's macro comment "Saves a copy of the document in a
separate file" I suspect the requirement might be to save a second copy in
another folder. That can be done from the first macro simply by adding the
required paths. There are some examples at
