Thanks for the response. I understand they are not the same, but I was hoping for more consistency for non-application-specific methods. There's nothing about Word that would preclude having a 'Save a Copy' method, so having used it in one office app (both PPT and Excel have that method), I had assumed it would be in another.

Also, I am not trying to save as a macro-free document; the document needs to be saved in a macro-enabled format, but certain modules need to be removed, as well as other changes need to be made to the document (the 2 versions have different changes that need to be made, but need to be made from the original document).

I am guessing that I will need to do what I had originally stated, and save the document into the original filepath after saving the 2 versions, then open each version and make the appropriate edits:

1 Verify current document
2 Save current document as "FileName_Finalized_1"
3 Save current document as "FileName_Finalized_2"
4 Save current document as original filename
5 Open "FileName_Finalized_1"
6 Remove specific VBA modules, and do any other finalizing steps
7 Close FileName_Finalized_1
8 Repeat steps 5-7 for "FileName_Finalized_2"
