Catch when the user presses the save button

[neoret]

Hello.

I need to catch when the user presses the save button in word. I tried
to use the documentbeforesave method, but that one also cathces the
autosave from word. This is not wanted.

I really hope someone could give a hint on this challenge

You have several possibilities.

1. Write a macro with the same name as the command you're trying to catch:
In this case, FileSave (if you mean the menu Save option) or FileSaveDefault
(if you mean the toobar save button). This will run in place of the
corresponding built-in command. Note that it's *entirely* up to you what
this macro does -- if your macro doesn;t save the document, then document
doesn't get saved.

2. Remove the built-in button and replace it with your own, running whatever
macro you want to run.

Thank you for answering.

I'm not very experienced in word programming -

- can I write the macro in my add-in code or how is that accomplished?

- could you give me some hints on how to implement alternative 2? Do
you have any examples, articles about this etc??

Thanks again for answering me

Yes, you can write it in your add-in.
