How do I know if a doc is saved on disk

[David Thielen]

Hi;

How can I tell if a document is saved to disk. I know about Document.Saved
that tells me if it's dirty. But how do I tell if:

1) It is a new document that has never been saved to disk and therefore no
file by that name exists.

2) It is embedded in something and there is no actual word file on disk.

Hi

1) It is a new document that has never been saved to disk and therefore no
file by that name exists.

I think you may try to check the Saved and the FullName Property.
Sub Test()
Debug.Print ThisDocument.Saved
Debug.Print ThisDocument.FullName
End Sub

BTW: We can not guarantee that a word file with certain filename is on the
disk, because any file we can rename it as xxxx.doc, except we search all
the disk to ensure that there is not file of the name.

2) It is embedded in something and there is no actual word file on disk.
Do you mean open the doc file in IE which is embeded?
If so, the document should have existed.
Can you describe the scenario more detailed?

I should have thought of this at first - I just call
File.Exist(Document.FullName)
