MS Office Forum / Word / Programming / June 2007AfterSave Event ?
Hi all Word 2003 seems to have very few events to react upon ? There is a BeforeSave but no "AfterSave" I would likr to be able to copy the document to a folder when I 'flip back' to my application (if it has changed) Has anyone done anything similar ? Thanks Andrew Andrew Kennard was telling us: Andrew Kennard nous racontait que : > Hi all > [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > > Andrew Intercept the Save and Save As commands with macros named like this: '_______________________________________ Sub FileSave() End Sub '_______________________________________ '_______________________________________ Sub FileSaveAs() End Sub '_______________________________________ Use code to do the save, and then do what you want to do. No need of events, and if you want this to be global event try with a template located in the Start-up folder Normally, I use a third sub that actually does the work: '_______________________________________ Sub FileSave() SaveEvent 1 End Sub '_______________________________________ '_______________________________________ Sub FileSaveAs() SaveEvent 2 End Sub '_______________________________________ '_______________________________________ Sub SaveEvent(lngSaveType As Long) If lngSaveType = 1 Then ActiveDocument.Save Else Dialogs(wdDialogFileSaveAs).Show 'In fact, you need more code here in case the user cancels out of that dialog, ' you have to code accordingly 'See the VBA help file on Dialogs. Or do a Search in Google Groups, 'there are may example on how to do this 'If the document was not successfully saved with Save As: Exit Sub End if 'Do the stuff you want to do after the save here End Sub '_______________________________________  SignatureSalut! _______________________________________ Jean-Guy Marcil - Word MVP jmarcilREMOVE@CAPSsympatico.caTHISTOO Word MVP site: http://www.word.mvps.org Jean-Guy Thanks very much for your detailed reply. Sorry I should have mentioned that I am 'integrating' with Word as a COM automation object from a language called Visual Dataflex. Now VB examples are usually fine and I can "convert" them Would I be correct in assuming your example below is in VBA and is in effect controlling word from the inside out rather than the outside in ? Do you know how I could achive the same thing from a separtate VB app that controls word as a COM Automation object ? Thanks again for your assistance Regards Andrew > Andrew Kennard was telling us: > Andrew Kennard nous racontait que : [quoted text clipped - 68 lines] > End Sub > '_______________________________________ Andrew Kennard was telling us: Andrew Kennard nous racontait que : > Jean-Guy > > Thanks very much for your detailed reply. > > Sorry I should have mentioned that I am 'integrating' with Word as a > COM automation object from a language called Visual Dataflex.

Yes. > Do you know how I could achive the same thing from a separtate VB app > that controls word as a COM Automation object ? > > Thanks again for your assistance I guess that you would still need a template that would call your Add-in. The call could pass the activeDocument as an object to the Add-in. But I have never really work with pure VB add-in, wait, it won't be long before someone else joins us!

Any reason *not* to use the Doc Before Save event? -- Krgrds, Perry System: Vista/Office Ultimate VS2005/VSTO2005 SE > Jean-Guy > [quoted text clipped - 36 lines] >> But I have never really work with pure VB add-in, wait, it won't be long >> before someone else joins us! The doc hasn't actullay been saved at that point and the user can cancel the save or change the name of the doc in the case of SaveAs etc The save operation just hasn't happend yet.

So not many people using word as a COM Automation object ? or is the lack of "AfterEvents" just not a problem in you applications ?
