A "Internetdetection-function" for Word 2003/2007

[Daniel Gustafsson]

When students and not so good users are working in Word it VERY easy for them
to forget when they have opened a Wordfile from Hotmail and so on as an
attachment. Then the files is stored in Temporary Internet Files.

I have many expiriences of students and othe personal expiriences, not my
own, of ppl that have worked for hours and hours and when they simply just
"save" the file, they forget the function "save as" wich is needed to save
the file in a workingmap/homemap/homedrive.

My request might be uniqe but I want a function where Word and other Office
applications "feels" that a file is worked with in the Temporary Internet
Files map, and if the person tries to shut down/exit Word or Excel or any
application then the software shall PROMPT and simply just refuse to be
shutted down before the documnet is saved in another "safe" place. By default
perhaps "My documnets"?

Attachments opened from Outlook 2007 will not be saved in the temporary
folder. But it is simple enough to overcome the problem.
Save the following macro in an add-in template and whenever Save is clicked
it checks to establish whether the document is being saved in a temporary
internet files location and if it is, throws up an error message before
offering the saveas dialog. If the document is not being saved in such a
location it will be saved normally.

Sub FileSave()
With ActiveDocument
If InStr(1, .Path, "Temporary Internet Files") Then
MsgBox "This is an e-mail attachment!" & vbCr & vbCr & _
"Select a folder to save in" & vbCr & _
"on your local drive", vbCritical, "E-mail Attachment"
Dialogs(wdDialogFileSaveAs).Show
Else
.Save
End If
End With
End Sub

Thanx for the tip, but what I mean is that this feature shall be a bulit in
function, to do this shall not be a "do-your-own-script" thing, it shall be
there default from the start. No choise

If you use Office 2007 it is already built-in. I can't see Microsoft adding
the function to older software.
