ActiveDocument.save

[Graham Scott]

Hi,

This ought to be simple (surely!) but it is giving me grief. Any suggestions
gratefully received!

At the end of Sub Document_New, I try to save the ActiveDocument, like this:

ActiveDocument.Save

The document has not been saved before, so this invokes the Save As dialog.
This is exactly what I want, because I want the user to be able to select
the save location. However, I would like to be able to pre-fill the dialog's
File Name field with a suggested file name, and I can't seem to figure out
how to do it! I have set the built-in Title property, and the ActiveWindow
Caption, but the dialog obviously isn't filling the File Name field from
either of these. What else should I try??

Second problem is that when I press the Cancel button on the Save As dialog,
to abort the save, I get Runtime error '4198' on the ActiveDocument.Save
call. What's that all about??

Thanks in advance for any help!

The following code will display the FileSaveAs dialog with the name of the
file to be save preset to "test"

With Dialogs(wdDialogFileSaveAs)
.Name = "Test"
.Show
End With
