Hello Word Group,

I thought the above task would be easy.  Wrong.  (at least not for
me!).
No prob using activedocument.save or saveas.

I would like to present the user with a dialog window, so the user can
save a file (in *.doc format only)
but be able to name it as the user desires, and put it where the user
desires.

I would like to do this from vba.

I have the following code which opens (show) a dialog window, but it
opens to the *.dot filetype,
I can navigate to "C:\My documents", but the file is never saved.

code is below:

Sub ShowSaveAsDialog()
   Dim dlgSaveAs As Object
  ' Dim ePath As String

   'ePath = "C:\My Documents\"
   Set dlgSaveAs = Dialogs(wdDialogFileSaveAs)
   dlgSaveAs.Show

End Sub
(i have tried dlgSaveAs.Execute - it errors out.

I want this code to be in a module in a custom template (as opposed to
Normal.dot),

any tips on this one???

thanks
