Hi, Haigy,

The code to put into your macro to set the path is shown at
http://www.mvps.org/word/FAQs/MacrosVBA/ChangeSaveAsPath.htm.

You should put code into a macro named FileSaveAs() to intercept the SaveAs
command, as explained in
http://www.mvps.org/word/FAQs/MacrosVBA/InterceptSavePrint.htm.

To make this company-wide, you need to distribute a template containing the
macro to everyone who uses your documents. That can (and should) be a
template used to create specific types of documents through the File > New
dialog, rather than a global template that would affect every SaveAs for
every document. For this, read
http://www.mvps.org/word/FAQs/MacrosVBA/DistributeMacros.htm.
