What does this have to do with MS Office Word?

A lot actually, I wanted to use Words Basic to determine this. However, Ive
since worked it out.

Thanks

test the property against the date "01/01/1601" which is the default date

As long as you have started typing in the document,

MsgBox ActiveDocument.Saved

Will return "False"

For a completely new, virgin document, it will however shown True because as
far as Word is concerned, there is nothing do save.
