Saving a new file - suggestion for the file-name

When saving a new document for the first time, WORD suggest a name for the
new file

This is sometimes the first part of the first sentence in the document or
the title in Document Properties


My question is : can I compose myself that tempory name (in a VBA-code -
tempory filename = content of a bookmark) and this whitout really saving
the document.


My aim is that when users are saving the file, the dialogbox "Save" at item
"filename" suggest the name as defined in the bookmark.


thanks - paul

Hi Paul,
rather a workaround than a bulletproof solution, but anyway,
try this:
Sub FileSave()
Dim s As String
s = ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("MyMark").Range.Text
' can't think of anthing else than
If Left(ActiveDocument.Name, 8) = "Document" Then
With Dialogs(wdDialogFileSaveAs)
.Name = s
.Show
End With
End If
End Sub

Hi, Paul,

Besides the approach Helmut showed you, another way around the problem
is shown at http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/MacrosVBA/SetDefFilename.htm.
