change a template's default folder

[Guest]

Is there any way to change the default folder that a user saves to when using
one specific template?

Is there any way to change the default folder that a user saves to when using
one specific template?

In that one template, create a macro like this (substituting your
folder path in the quotes):

Public Sub FileSaveAs
With Dialogs(wdDialogFileSaveAs)
.Name = "c:\windows\temp\"
.Show
End With
End Sub

The special macro name FileSaveAs means that the macro will be
executed whenever the user selects the Save As command on the File
menu. Other variations on this theme are described at
http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/MacrosVBA/ChangeSaveAsPath.htm.

If you need instructions for creating the macro, see

The general idea of using macros to intercept built-in commands is
discussed at
