Re: A Macro to Save Files

The save part is easy - ActiveDocument.SaveAs "Path\Filename"

Getting the name for the file is where the work is and I would suggest that
you should have a userform in the template from which the documents are
created that has controls on it into which the user enters that information.
Almost certainly, the recipient and the name of the document are required in
the document somewhere and once the data is entered into the userform, the
code in the form could enter it into the document as well as save the
document with the required name.

See the article "How to create a Userform" at:

I have an attorney who wants a specific naming convention for his files:

2006.11.20_[Atty Initials]_[Name of Document]_[Recipient].doc

The attorney initials would not exceed 3 spaces. Since there are several
associates/legal staff who are going to be required to implement this
method
for this particular attorney, I thought a macro would be the easiest way
of
getting the job done and ensure consistency for everyone involved.

Since I have yet to write a macro in Word, I thought this forum would be a
very good place to start gathering information for this project. Thank
you
in advance for any help you can provide me.
