Send to macro
When I type some Word documents, I would like to send them to a folder on my
desktop so that I can keep them together before despatching them to a client. I have created the desktop folder but can't work out how to record the macro. I would really appreciate some help, please. TIA |

Doesn't need a macro.... |

Send to macro
No need for a macro. As Gordon suggests, you can just use SaveAs and select
the location of the Folder. To make this easy, you can add the folder to the Place bar in the File Open/Save dialog so that you can navigate to it with one click. How depends on your version of OS and Word. -- Terry Farrell - MSWord MVP "janey" wrote in message ...

Send to macro
Sorry, I hadn't made myself very clear.
I have already saved the documents to their relevant folders (i.e. for my client's various projects). After I have saved them, I would like to send each one to a folder on my desktop so that they are all collected together when I come to send them to him by email. I used to have a macro similar to the "File | Send to: Floppy Disk" but don't have that in my present office. "Terry Farrell" wrote in message ... No need for a macro.

Send to macro
This is a windows rather than Word thing! I'm not sure how to do it with a
macro, but you can add it to the Send To right-click menu. In Vista, you need to go to your profile under Users/yourname/AppData/Roaming/Microsoft/Windows/Startup and add a shortcut to the folder you added to the Desktop. Now when you right-click on any file, the context menu will open up and Send To: FolderName will now be available. WinXP is similar but under Documents and Settings somewhere.

I didn't mean startup in that path, I meant Send To in the path!

Send to macro
You should be able to adapt the macros at
http://www.gmayor.com/automatically_backup.htm to save a document to a preferred location. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org janey wrote: Sorry, I hadn't made myself very clear.

Send to macro
Thanks for that. I have added the shortcut to the Send to folder.
I would like to add it to the drop down box in Word (2003) but can't find a 'Send to" command in Tools | Customize | All Commands. Can anyone help, please? "Terry Farrell" wrote in message ...

Send to macro
Thank you, Graham.
Just as a matter of interest, looking through some old files, I notice that someone sent me a template (Send to.dot) which did precisely what I am looking for (sadly now lost). It was via this newsgroup by someone called Tonia Marshall. If she is still around, I would be delighted to hear if I can get a copy of the template she had created.)

What *exactly* did the macro do? It should not take rocket science to
recreate it. Try the following Sub CopyDocToFolder() Dim SourceFile As String Dim DestinationFile As String ActiveDocument.Save SourceFile = ActiveDocument.Name ' Define source file name. DestinationFile = "C:\Temp\" & SourceFile ' Additional file location. SourceFile = ActiveDocument.FullName ActiveDocument.Close FileCopy SourceFile, DestinationFile 'Copy source to first target Documents.Open SourceFile 'Reopen the original document End Sub Set DestinationFile path to where you want to send the copy. http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org janey wrote: Thank you, Graham.
