Link the File name to a bookmark when saving the file
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 -B |

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 -- Hope this helps.

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?

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: http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Macros...eateAMacro.htm -- Hope this helps.

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 "Doug Robbins - Word MVP" wrote: It needs to be located in the template from which you are creating the document.

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 -- Hope this helps.

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 http://www.gmayor.com/automatically_backup.htm -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Doug Robbins - Word MVP wrote: You want both macros to do the same thing.
