Open as a copy

[Ulf Nilsson]

Hi,
How do I open a document as a copy? When I record the
macro it just says:

Documents.Open FileName:="""Copy (2) of j-ma.doc"""

It seems that Word creates a copy automatically. How is
this done using VBA?

Why don't y use:

documents.Add "c:\temp\MyDoc.doc"

Adds a new document based on your original one.
The newly created doc can serve as yr copy ...

Hi Perry,

Documents.Add is also locking the original.

Any more suggestion?

I forget

Set d = Documents.Add("c:\temp\doc5.doc", newtemplate = True)

Set the NewTemplate parameter to true, like in above example
