DocumentBeforeSave event and AutoRecover

[Rich Conway]

Does anyone know if there is a way to differentiate
between a DocumentBeforeSave event kicked off by the user
and the same event kicked off by Word's AutoRecover
feature? I am using Word 2002.

If a document is not saved yet
(Path property of the file in question results in an empty string) you can
use the input/output parameter: SaveAsUi to differentiate.

SaveAsUi = True when user saves
SaveAsUi = False when word tries to AutoRecover

If the file has been saved before, the
DocumentBeforeSave event fires in both instances and there's
no way to differentiate.

Perhaps, replacing the Word's builtin FileSave macro to
read your own will be of help.
