How to save a duplicate of a document and name the file?

[DPI]

I am trying to find a way in WORD 2012, to automatically save a duplicate of a document to a specified location, when the user selects the menu 'save' or 'save as' function. Ideally this should be transparent to the user. But is not strictly necessary.

The document is a template, that users complete and then save.

Additionally, is it possible to generate a file name from specific required fields in the document. Trying to get the users to stick to a naming strategy is like trying to herd cats.

Any examples of this would help as I have not been able to find any. If it was excel I would have it covered. But word is another matter.

I understand that the 'thisapplication.documentbeforesave' event would possibly do it, but I am looking for examples on how this is used.

Thanks.

You may want to consider adding a menu item that calls code to save the new document.
