Hello again! You've been right, for notepad.
But I'm coming back to that issue, beacause I can't ajust it to my needs and make it work. I used the save to txt and open in notepad as a example to keep it simple and understand the process.
In the end I ajusted the scribt to my needs, which are: convert to .tex and open it in a Tex Editor.
Code:
Sub saveastxt()
Dim RetVal As Object
Dim strDelete As String
Dim strName As String
On Error Resume Next
ActiveDocument.Save
If ActiveDocument.Path = "" Then
MsgBox "Document not saved!"
GoTo lbl_Exit
End If
strDelete = ActiveDocument.FullName
strName = Replace(ActiveDocument.FullName, ".docx", ".tex")
ActiveDocument.SaveAs2 FileName:=strName, FileFormat:=wdFormatText
ActiveDocument.Close 0
RetVal = Shell("C:\Program Files (x86)\Texmaker\texmaker.exe " & strName, 1) 'Don't open the saved .txt file
Kill strDelete
lbl_Exit:
Exit Sub
End Sub
It works, but only without any spaces in the filname. Otherwise the editor opens, showing no file, or in case of another editor: it opens with the massage, file not found. I tried several tex editors, all mention the same problem.
I just can't get it solved by myself. I simply don't understand why it works with notepad and not with the other editors.
I really would appreciate any help, and I'm willed to donate for a solution
