Please Note: This article is written for users of the following Microsoft Word versions: 97, 2000, 2002, and 2003. If you are using a later version (Word 2007 or later), this tip may not work for you. For a version of this tip written specifically for later versions of Word, click here: Saving a Document in a Macro.
If you want to save a document under control of your macro, you can use the Save method. This is the same as choosing the Save command from the File menu, so it will display the Save As dialog box if the document you are saving has not been previously saved. The syntax is as follows:
ActiveDocument.Save
If you want to save the document to a file with a new name, use the following basic syntax:
ActiveDocument.SaveAs FileName:="filename"
where filename is the full name (including a path) that you want used for the file.
