Default Setting up a template to save to a specific folder

Hi,



Is it possible to set a default folder for where documents generated by a specific template will be saved?

I use Word (Office 365 on a PC) for generating invoices. I save these manually, but as I'm doing quite a few at a time, it would be useful if it defaulted to the invoices folder that I've set up rather than the My Documents folder.

I don't want to change the default save location for all Word documents, just those that are generated by the invoice template that I've created.

I'm sure it's simple if you know how, but I've had a good look through the menus in Word and searched various places online and can't find a description of how to configure it to do this.

Thanks,

Chris

The reason you can’t find anything online is because it isn’t possible. The only way to achieve it would be to add VBA code to the template that will intercept the save command.

Thumbs up

Thanks for the swift response.

Ah, that would be why then...

I've not used VBA before, but might look into it.
