I currently have a document which is a template (.dot).

When you open the template, it give it a name "Document 1" or similar.

When you go to save the document, it adds the first couple of letters from
the start of the document for a Suggested Filename.

What i would like to do is have the suggested filename be automatically
changed depending on what was entered through the forms.

Does anyone know how this could be done?

What sort of Forms? What control or FormField is it that contains the
string that you want to use as the filename

But the code to use is"

With Dialogs(wdDialogFileSaveAs)
.Name = [some data from your form]
.Show
End With

And BTW what part of Microsoft Technical Support do you work in?
