Can I do this?

[Eric]

Can I look to see what the first three letters/numbers are
in a file name, then based on that, save to a particular
directory? Like:

If the file name starts with the letters CAR Then save to
C:\Whatever?

If so, how? I am a inexperienced VBA programmer.

Hi Eric,

You can probably use something like the following:

If Left(LCase(ActiveDocument.Name), 3) = "car" Then
ActiveDocument.SaveAs _
FileName:="C:\Whatever\" & ActiveDocument.Name, _
FileFormat:=wdFormatDocument
End If
