Detecting autosave in DocumentBeforeSave event

[Kristian]

I use the DocumentBeforeSave event handler in order to prompt user for new
version info when the save file menu / button is activated. But this event
handler is also fired when the document autosave (for backup purpose) - this
is annoying. Can I detect in the event handler whenever the event is caused
by autosave or a user request ? (Disabling autosave is not an option). I am
using VBA in Word 2000.

Please help.

I think the only possibility would be a pair of macros saved in the VBA
project, named FileSave and FileSaveAs. These are only triggered by user
action.
