how to save word document without saving macros with it.

V

Vern

I have created a word 2002 document that has several macros in it to automate
it. I want to add a macro to save the document using fields in the document
as the name, which I have done, but I do not want the macros saved with the
document. The documents that are saved from the original will be for
reference only.

Thanks, for the help.

Consider using a template. Then, using File > New, you create a new document
based on the template. The new document does not contain the macros. For
more on the different kinds of templates, tabs on the file new dialog, and
locations of templates folders see
http://addbalance.com/usersguide/templates.htm. Use of templates and use of
styles are two concepts you should master before you start worrying about
writing macros as complex as you are describing. Otherwise you will be
reinventing the wheel.
