Mike,

This is not something you can trap by hooking an event, but what you can do
is override Word's built in save functions by giving procedures in your
template the same name as the built-in Word commands. Try this:

Go to Tools>Macro>Macros. In the 'Macros in' dropdown, select 'Word
commands'. From the list, select 'FileSave'. Now click the 'Macros in'
dropdown again, and select your template. Now click create. A macro is
created in your template that replaces the built-in command. When you use
this method, the default code is supplied as a starting point, and you can
now modify it rather than starting from scratch.

At a minimum, you will want to have FileSave and FileSaveAs macros in your
template. You may want to also look at some of the other commands such as
FileSaveHTML, etc.

Regards,
Chad
