Change Name without saving

[Otto Sonneveld]

How can I change the name of the active word document without save
instruction.
Which rpoperty should be controlled?

Thanks Otto

Do you mean change the filename without saving? Cant be done while the
document is open. Close it, rename it, reopen it.

If all you want to do is change the text that appears on the caption for the
document window, then change the Caption property of the ActiveWindow
object.

Hi Otto,

The .Name property of the Document Object is Read Only and therefore cannot
be changed using

ActiveDocument.Name = "NewName"

You can however

Dim NewName as Document
Set NewName = ActiveDocument

and then refer to the document in vba by referring to NewName. However

MsgBox NewName.Name

will return the original name of the document that was active at the time
that the Set statement was executed.
