Default Automatic Path with Date

Use a macro containing the following commands:

With Dialogs(wdDialogFileSaveAs)
If .Display Then
With ActiveDocument
.SaveAs Format(Date, "yyyy-mm-dd") & " " & .Name
End With
End If
End With

If you create the macro with the name of Sub FileSaveAs() in your normal.dot
template or in an add-in, it will run whenever the FileSaveAs command is
used.

I have some questions hopefully someone can assist.

I want to save my word documents by default in the d:\path location
with the following format

"2010-02-26 File Name.doc "– I would like to insert the date
automatically.

Appreciate your assistance.
