Simple SaveAs Macro?

[sally t]

Pls help! I have only ever recorded Macros in Word but I want a Macro that
will immediately bring up the File - Save As dialog box. How Exactly do I
write it - please tell me every step as I don't normally write macros. Many,
many thanks! Sall

The command that you need to use is:

Dialogs(wdDialogFileSaveAs).Show

If by immediately, you mean as soon as a new document is created, put the
command in a macro named autonew, either in the template from which the
document is created or in a template that you place in the Word Startup
directory.

Thank you Doug. But please can you tell me the whole process for writing a
Macro - Do I just go into Macros - Create and type only the bit you've shown
or do I need something else? Thanks
Sally Perhaps there's an idiot's guide to writing your first macro
somewhere? Sall

Sally,

You may want to look at this

takes you through the whole process.

There are also other code examples and explanations thereon.
