Well here's what I ended up doing and it seems to work fine... The SaveTo_Click is the code on the button. It calls SpecialClose to delete the button from the saved-as document. Not pretty but it works. All the tektips are greatly appreciated folks!! Private Sub SaveTo_Click() Dim docFname...

You make a logical point. I was hoping the user could "camp" in the document template and keep saving new ones after they change the names and date on the form but it's not a requirement. I am going to use a docm file instead of dotm to start with and just protect the docm file to make it a...

@TonyJollans Thanks! That helped me get beyond the Content Control issue. The MyCC.Range.Text even worked for a Date control. The SaveAs doc seems to remain open after this, so how to close it? ActiveDocument.close closes the template that has this code in it. Private Sub SaveTo_Click() Dim...

Maybe I should also ask... is there a better, less obtuse way to do this? I want the users to fill several fields on a form (template) and click a button to saveas a DOCX to a specific location with a file name based on values in some of the fields.

... also the Watch window in VBA, when I specify to watch LName it says <Expression not defined in context> It's on the document, but apparently that isn't "defined" ?

@mintjulep, With your line I get "Method or Data member not found." .Text is not valid ALmost any valid one I select gives a type mismatch error. ...more hair lost.

@Andrzejek The first gives a blank msgbox. The second gives the same runtime error.

Hi folks...pulling my hair out for hours on this seemingly simple task... trying to save a template as a docx file to a specific location and file name based on some text fields in the document. In a MS Word template file, I have a text box control labeled LName. There's also a button named...
