URGENT: MSWORD Query

The following function opens a word document

Public Function OpenNewDoc(Optional docname As String, Optional ro As Boolean = False, Optional atrfl As Boolean = False, Optional bVisible As Boolean = True)

If Len(docname) > 0 Then
Set wrdDoc = wrdApp.Documents.Open(docname, ReadOnly:=ro, addtorecentfiles:=atrfl)
Else
Set wrdDoc = wrdApp.Documents.Add
wrdDoc.Select
Set wrdSelection = wrdApp.Selection
End If

wrdApp.Visible = bVisible

End Function

What I would like to do, is open a template document, save it with a predefined file name, and then open the document ...

As much as I can I would also like to use the word object itself to do this ...

I am using Word 11.

Yes, it does ....

Is there a definative resource for msword which talks about using vb and msword ?

Brian Mulder

good question, i'm not sure

what i mostly do is using the object browser in the ms office application [F2 in the vb editor]
most of the info i learned from there, if you can make things work in the office app then port it to VB or any other environment

otherwise i google for the thing i need to know, because most of the time its something that should've been done by others already :-)
and use google groups instead of plain google, the group search is really helpful in finding relevant snippets

thanks for the grade
