Trying to clear Word's native SaveAs filters for a FileDialogSaveAsspawned via Word

[Joey]

Hello,

I am trying to programatically create a FileDialog of type
FileDialogSaveAs with just MSG, HTML, RTF and TXT as its filters. I am
spawning a dialog box via Word; however, I am having difficulty clearing
the filters for Word's dialog box so that I can fill them in with the
MSG, HTML, RTF and TXT file types so I can do a .SaveAs with Outlook's
format of olMSG, olHTML, olRTF, and olTXT. I cannot get the SaveAs
FileDialog to clear its filters native to word with a .Filters.Clear
command and then add the new outlook filters to the collection. How do
I accomplish this?

Sincerely,
Joey.

You might get a better answer in a Word programming group, but there is no
Filters property listed anywhere in the Word object model. You can use
DefaultSaveFormat to set a default but that doesn't change the list of save
formats. You might end up having to create your own dialog box from scratch
or using the Windows FileSave common dialog.
