To start a project of a code that will be in a file "base.docm" and will do the following:

It will create a copy of itself saving as "mycopy.docx".

Note that a simple copy and paste will not work cause the original file will have footers and headers etc.

Type the text "Hello" in this generated file.

Saves the generated file.

Close yourself without saving changes to itself.

Thanks a lot.

Making a copy of a file does not require VBA - you can do that from Windows Explorer. Furthermore, copying a file (even via SaveAs in VBA - which is all you'd need) has no effect on headers & footers.

Thanks.

But the answer is so simple:

ActiveDocument.SaveAs FileName:="xxxxx.docx", fileformat:=wdFormatDocumentDefault
..........

Exactly as I said...
