The snippet of code tests to establish if the field is showing its placeholder text (Click or tap here to enter text), which if empty is what the control should display. However there must actually be a content control in the document with the title "Subject", or nothing happens.

You can test for that:
Code:
Sub SaveAs()
'
' SaveAs Macro
'
'

Dim sName As String, aCC As ContentControl, iSpacePos As Integer
Dim sFilename As String, sNow As String, sPath As String
Dim i As Integer
    sPath = Environ("USERPROFILE") & Chr(92) & "Desktop\"
    For Each aCC In ActiveDocument.ContentControls
        If aCC.Title = "Subject" Then
            i = i + 1
            Exit For
        End If
    Next aCC
    If i = 0 Then
        MsgBox "The 'Subject' Content Control is missing", vbCritical
        Exit Sub
    End If
    For Each aCC In ActiveDocument.ContentControls
        If aCC.Title = "Subject" Then
            If aCC.ShowingPlaceholderText = True Then
                MsgBox "Complete the 'Subject' field!", vbCritical
                aCC.Range.Select
                Exit Sub
            End If
            sName = Trim(aCC.Range.Text)
        End If
        iSpacePos = InStr(sName, " ")
        If iSpacePos > 0 Then
            sName = Mid(sName, iSpacePos) & "," & Left(sName, iSpacePos)
            sName = Replace(sName, " ", "")
        End If
        sNow = Format(Now, "dd-mm-yy_HHMMSS")
        sFilename = sName & "_" & sNow & ".docm"

        ActiveDocument.SaveAs2 FileName:=sPath & sFilename, FileFormat:=wdFormatXMLDocumentMacroEnabled
    Next aCC
    Set aCC = Nothing
End Sub
The path as written is fine. It will save to the user's desktop.




You can repeat the content of a content control by inserting a second content control and map it to the first. Both operations are easily achieved using my content control tools - Insert Content Control Add-In

Ok so I tested this code and I got it to do something. Right now it's saving multiple files. First time I ran it, it saved 3 files. The second time I ran it, it nows saves 5 files. 4 our of 5 files have the person's last name then a comma and then first name, then a bunch of numbers. Now that I'm looking at the pattern it looks like the date is our of sequence with this format dd-mm-yy and then the rest of the numbers represents the time which looks to be in the correct format. Let me try and tweak your code a bit and see if I can figure out the date format. Also the last file that does not contain a name is just the date and time. The date and time is in the same format pattern as the rest.

Would you know why this code is saving multiple files?
