Need for clearer term to describe an existing, saved document
What is the correct term for a Word document that has already been
saved, that has a name and a path, as compared with an unsaved document? Simply calling such a document a "saved" document is not the answer, as "saved" can mean either a saved document in which the latest changes have been saved, or it can mean a document that has a name and a path, that has unsaved changes. Similary, an "unsaved document" can mean a document that has never been saved and has no name and path, or it can mean a document that has been saved, but that has unsaved changes in it. Larry |

or it can mean a document that has a name and a path, that has unsaved
changes. Open such a document. Make a minor change and then run this code. Sub Test() If ActiveDocument.Saved = True Then MsgBox "Larry's statement is confirmed" Else MsgBox "Saved is not a VBA condition that applies to a" _ & " named document with unsaved changes." End If End Sub |

Need for clearer term to describe an existing, saved document
Thanks. Good answer. "Named document" versus "unnamed document" is the
unambiguous terminology I was looking for. However, while it's true that "Saved" is not a VBA condition for a named document with unsaved changes, when we have an unnamed document and want to name it, we "save" it.

End If End Sub |

Larry,
Actually we "Save As" So, I would say we have: A named document is a "Saved As" document |

This is true, but nobody says that. No one says, "check to see if the
document is a saved-as document or an unsaved-as document." So the question is, what are the terms that Word experts use among themselves. "Greg" wrote in message ups.com... Larry, Actually we "Save As" So, I would say we have: A named document is a "Saved As" document |

I think I would refer to it as an "existing" document. Unless I'm really
living dangerously, all my documents "exist" within five minutes of being created. g -- Suzanne S.
