[clintjjohnson]

I've a form document for which I've created a Word template. I want the
completed forms to all be saved in a specific location, and the document
files named in a specific way.

It there a way to configure a template to do this?

Hi Clint,

It would require using macros.

You could, for example, have a macro named FileSave, and another named
FileSaveAs. These would intercept the built-in Word commands of the same
name. In them, you would specify what you want to have. For example:

Sub FileSaveAs()
Dim sFileName as String

sFileName = InputBox("Type in the file name")
ActiveDocument.SaveAs("C:\Foldername\" & sFileName)
End Sub
