Propose save file name

Hi.

I'm developing an applicaiton, that starts the word, opens a document based
on a template and fill some information in it. Then the user can modify this
document.
If the user wants to save it, the file name in the SaveAs-dialog is
"document.doc"

The question is: how can I set the proposed name of document by my
application?

Thanks a lot.

Set the Title document property, which will then appear as the suggested
file name. There's a workaround for a bug in this:

Thank you very much!
I've spent 4 hours for this issue, until you gave me this hint.
What a f**k.
And it is nearly impossible to find the solution at web, because everyone
just reading the title or just set the title and not the proposed file name.

Also answered in the other group to which you posted. Please do not post
the same question separately to multiple newsgroups. It wastes everybody's

An easier workaround would seem to be that good old fallback ...

WordBasic.SetDocumentProperty "Title", 0, "My Title"
