I am new to developing Word add-ins. How can I determine whether an
Word.ActiveDocument is closing during the DocumentBeforeSave event.
as the DocumentBeforeSave event appears to trigger before
DocumentBeforeClose Event.
I need to differentiate between these scenarios:
1) a user is closing a document (clicking 'X' button on window) and
selecting 'Yes' from 'Do you want to save....'. then closes document.
I want to add additional code in the DocumentBeforeSave event in this
instance.
2) a user is closing a document (clicking 'X' button on window) and
selecting 'No' from 'Do you want to save....' then closes Document.
3) a user is closing a document (clicking 'X' button on window) and
selecting 'cancel' from 'Do you want to save....' and Document does not
close.
and 2) simply clicking the File>Save button or any shortcut save keys.
Document does not close.
It looks as though the DocumentBeforeSave is triggered before the
DocumentBeforeClose event. Is there perhaps a way to change the order in
which these events are triggered in Word?
Thanks,

Thanks for this information.
However I have found another COM addin (Hummingbird DM related) which i
believe is displaying a Save dialog box which prevents me from intercepting
the save event using this method. I think this is the main cause of the
problem.
