Microsoft Office Forums - View Single Post - [Solved] Problem getting filename and directory of current word doc.

Hey All,

New here so welcome to me, and thanks for having me!

I did a quick search to no avail. I use some CAD software and it produces lists for me in .xsr format, not really sure what that is but once done I open them with word, fix the formatting and then save as a .doc.

I recorded a macro to do this for me automatically, but the first issue I had was it was calling everyfile the same name. So I setup a variable/method to get the current file name, but it always uses the same name and its not the corrrect name.

It always saves the file as "templates.doc" in "C:\users\me\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Templates\T emplates.doc"

instead of where the file really is (on my desktop in a folder) and its real name (not template)

Any ideas? Code below!

Code:

Sub Format()

' Format Macro
' Report Format
'
    Dim fso As New FileSystemObject
    myPath = ThisDocument.Path
    myName = fso.GetBaseName(myPath)
    
    With Selection.PageSetup
        .LineNumbering.Active = False
        .Orientation = wdOrientPortrait
        .TopMargin = CentimetersToPoints(1.27)
        .BottomMargin = CentimetersToPoints(1.27)
        .LeftMargin = CentimetersToPoints(1.27)
        .RightMargin = CentimetersToPoints(1.27)
        .Gutter = CentimetersToPoints(0)
        .HeaderDistance = CentimetersToPoints(1.25)
        .FooterDistance = CentimetersToPoints(1.25)
        .PageWidth = CentimetersToPoints(21)
        .PageHeight = CentimetersToPoints(29.7)
        .FirstPageTray = wdPrinterDefaultBin
        .OtherPagesTray = wdPrinterDefaultBin
        .SectionStart = wdSectionNewPage
        .OddAndEvenPagesHeaderFooter = False
        .DifferentFirstPageHeaderFooter = False

        .SuppressEndnotes = False
        .MirrorMargins = False
        .TwoPagesOnOne = False

        .BookFoldRevPrinting = False
        .BookFoldPrintingSheets = 1
        .GutterPos = wdGutterPosLeft
    End With

    Selection.WholeStory
    Selection.Font.Size = 10
    Selection.Font.Name = "Courier New"
    ChangeFileOpenDirectory (myPath)
    ActiveDocument.SaveAs2 fileName:=(myName), FileFormat:= _
