How to Save as what entered in TextBox1

Greetings!

I am very new to VBA. Please be forgive me if I don't follow the programming rules. It is not because I am rude, it is because I don't know.

I have a Word Document template that data is entered in the UserForm TextBoxe1.
I want a code that saves the Document as the value entered in the TextBox1.

Here is my main program with other irrelevant codes that I left out...

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Dim LFname As Range ' LFname is a bookmark in the document
Set LFname = ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("LFname").Range
LFname.Text = Me.TextBox1.Value ' TextBox1 is the TextBox in the UserForm where Last name and First name is entered .

And here is the save sub.

Private Sub CommandButton2_Click()

Set dlgSaveAs = Dialogs(wdDialogFileSaveAs)
With dlgSaveAs
.Name = "????????? " ' This is where I want the Last name and First name entered in the TextBox1 to appear
.Format = wdFormatXMLDocument
.Show
End With

Thanks in advance

End Sub

Perhaps this is all you need.

Private Sub CommandButton2_Click()

    Set dlgSaveAs = Dialogs(wdDialogFileSaveAs)

    With dlgSaveAs
        .Name =TextBox1.Value & ".docx"
        .Format = wdFormatXMLDocument
        .Show
    End With

    
End Sub

I am thrilled with the quick response from Nori! Thank you very much.

But,

However this does not appear to work. I get a blank area for File Name.
I don't know what I am doing wrong.
I entered a name in the TextBox1 and after clicking save command button the program does opens the save as dialog box but there is no name to be saved as.
please help Thank you

It works for me.

I entered 'TestDocName' in TextBox1, clicked CommandButton2, the dialog opens with 'TestDocName.docx' in the name box and when I click Save a file with that name is saved to the current directory.
