Hi all,

Is it possible to change the name of the currently opened document, without
doing a "saveas"?

I'd like to do a "saveas" to save a copy under the new name, but I'd like
the user to be able to continue to work on the copy of the document as they
originally knew it (so I thought about setting it back to it's original
name).

thanks.

A bit confused what it is you're attempting here. Are you trying to make a
backup copy of the document just in case?

Not exactly; if the user opens X.DOC, I'd like to change the name, after I
made some changes, to Y.DOC. if they want to save it, on the way out Word
will prompt them "do you want to save changes to Y.DOC?" This should keep
them from overwriting the X.DOC that they started with.

The only way I see to do this would be for me to actually go ahead and save
it as Y.DOC, even though they may not want it.

Thanks.
