I found the mvps article interesting and deleted some of the extra verbiage
in my older Word macros. Thanks for that and for leading me to look at
autohotkeys.

I d/led autohotkey and will need more than the last hour I've spent trying
to understand anything.

Anyway, I'm most interested in doing one thing at this time  (instead of
just copying keystrokes which I did with the autohotkey program and didn't
like the results as you hinted! ).

My primary interest is to send a Word document, which is already saved on
screen, to a specific home-network folder while still in Word. (I already
created a batch file outside of Word that finds all files created today in
my data folders and xx-copies them to that network folder)

I created an autohotkey as follows:

#a::send !fa"\\8400desktop\disks\from laptop\  "

In Word 2000 it does execute the menu command alt file save-as to save in my
network folder called "\disks\from laptop." But it types out
\\8400desktop\disks\from laptop\  " where the file name belongs. I have to
type in a new filename before the closing quote mark. That's a start.

I would like it to use the filename already set instead of typing in the
name. Is there a command in authotkey to keep the filename?

If Word2000 would only use all the lines that show up in the sendto folder
in Explorer, I wouldn't have this problem. But it won't utilize the sendto
lines I have to send to specific folders.

Thanks again for the leads.
