SaveAs & ChangeFileOpenDirectory

[JustinBailey]

I have a document named test.doc saved in C:\one. I open that document in
Word (2003). Now I want a macro that shows the SaveAs dialog defaulting to
C:\two instead of C:\one. I've tried...

ChangeFileOpenDirectory "C:\two\"
Dialogs(wdDialogFileSaveAs).Show

....and...

Dialogs(wdDialogFileSaveAs).Name = "C:\two\"
Dialogs(wdDialogFileSaveAs).Show

....but those only seem to work on unsaved documents and not at all,
respectively. And not that it makes a noticeable difference either way but
Tools > Options > File Locations > Documents is already set to C:\two. Any
suggestions?

I see how that works, and you're on the right track, but the situation that
page describes programatically saves the document with the same name in a
different but fixed folder. What I'm looking to do is open the SaveAs window
defaulting to C:\two so that the user can browse to another folder and/or
rename the file if they want. I understand I *could* use the gmayor
technique, change the filename and path values to variables, and prompt the
user but that seems far more cumbersome to the user than it's worth.

Anyone else?
