Hi Jeremy,
I'd like to write a batch file that causes an existing Word doc to open
directly to the File-Save As function.
Is this possible?
Using a Batch file (as in *.bat)? No. Unless the code that does the actual
processing can be stored in the Normal.dot template. In that case, you
could use the /mMacroName switch to execute the code.
It might make more sense to create a new document from a specific
template. The batch file would use the /t "path\filename.dot" switch to
tell Word to create a new document from the template. That still won't
display the file/Save As dialog box immediately. But as soon as the user
tries to save, using any command, that dialog box will appear.
