Set default filename?

[Thomas Olsson]

After the user has created a new document I want to set the default
filename for the file (not save it to disk). Is this possible.
Properties like path & name are readonly. Workaround?

The user saves the document in a sharepoint doc.lib. and I like to
predefine the filename but it's up to the user to save it.

Hi Thomas,

You can preset what the File/Save As dialog box displays as the file
name, but that won't include the path. There's a property you can use;
I believe the technique is somewhere on the word.mvps.org website.

Other than that, you'd need a macro named FileSaveAs to intercept the
built-in Word command. Using it, you can preset the dialog box before
showing it to the user.
