Trying to create a FILLIN window or some other prompt to create a value for FILENAME other than clicking and saving the usual way..............i am trying to make this idiot proof

Is there a way to designate a value for FILENAME

Does this help?

Create a macro named Autonew in the template from which the document is
being created that contains the following code:

Dim docname As String, fpath As String
GetName:
docname = InputBox("Enter the name under which this document is to be
saved.", "Name File")
If docname = "" Then GoTo GetName
fpath = Options.DefaultFilePath(wdDocumentsPath) & "\"
If Dir(fpath & docname & ".doc") = "" Then
ActiveDocument.SaveAs docname
Else
MsgBox "A file with that name already exists. Please enter another
name."
GoTo GetName
End If

Not much. Is your probelm getting the filename from the user, or applying it
the document once you've got it?

There are any number of ways to do the first, and the second is pretty
obvious. What have you tried so far and what goes wrong?
