Determine New vs Existing Word Document?

[Brian McCullough]

Hello,

What is the correct way to check if the a Word Document has been saved using
an explicit Save command? I am trying to determine if a document is "New"
vs "Existing".

What about for a PowerPoint Presentation and/or Excel Workbook?

Thanks in advance!

Hi Brian,

vs "Existing".

I don't think there is anything in the object model that will tell you this.
Checking the file creation time would be a possibility. Or trap the DocumentNew
event of the Application object and maintain a collection of documents that
were newly created (and/or do the same with the DocumentOpen event).
