SaveAs File Type

[liamwhan]

Hi guys,

This is probably a fairly simple one but I have a template that employees use to complete a form and I want them to be able to save the file as a Document (rather than .dot which it defaults to when the dialog opens.)

I would prefer to call the wdDialogFileSaveAs as that will be more familiar to the users but if there is a way to do it with ActiveDocument.SaveAs and provide a "Please enter File Namne: Msgbox then that will do as well.


Thanks for any help you can give!

Hi liamwhan,

The default file format for saving via 'Application.Dialogs(wdDialogFileSaveAs)' is the same as the file you opened. If you're being offered the template format, that suggests you have opened the template for editing instead of creating a new document based on the template.
