Specify default file save locations for new documents created from a template - WORD 2010

Hi Chris,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Office Community.

It is not possible to save the documents that are created from particular template to desired location in Word 2010.

However it may be possible through a VBA code (Macro). For assistance related to creating Macro, you may post your query in following section of Microsoft Office Community.

Yes, it is possible, but requires a macro in the template. The macro I use changes the default directory for saving for that session of Word, though. You could run another macro that changes it back, I suppose.

If you are in an environment that allows macros to run, I (or someone else) can supply one. To simplify things, please give the folder locations for the folder you want to save documents from the template as well as your default file save location.

Put an AutoNew macro in the template

Sub AutoNew()
ActiveDocument.SaveAs2 "Path" & InputBox("Enter the filename for the document", "File SaveAs")

End Sub

Where you replace the word Path with the path to the folder where you want the documents saved.

I would be very interested to see your macro if you'd be willing to share. I think it might be just what I'm looking for.
