VbScript to save a current open Word document

Question

hi I want vbscript to save a current open Word document, I am using the code:

 Dim objWord As Object
    Set objWord = CreateObject("Word.Application")
    Set objDoc = objWord.Documents.Add()
    objDoc.Save

but it is opening a new word document and then asking me to save.

My requirement is i have created a menu button on click of it if the doc is already saved at a location it should save the changes made or if it is not it should ask me the path and save it there

Thanks Creator

Answer 1

objWord.Documents.Add means creating a new document.

Try: objDoc = objWord.ActiveDocument

Answer 2

Try adding the following code:

Dim activeDoc
Set activeDoc = objWord.ActiveDocument
activeDoc.Save

Answer 3

Instead of using VBScript, use a VBA macro, which will be started in-process. Using the " Application " object will grant you access to the current Word instance, and ActiveDocument (which is short for Application.ActiveDocument ) will give you access to the current document.

Answer 4

I had to do the same thing and this is what I used:

' Create the File System Object
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
'Check for directory folder.
If objFSO.FolderExists(strDirectory) Then
        Set objFolder = objFSO.GetFolder(strDirectory)
        Set objWord = CreateObject("Word.Application")
        objWord.Visible = True

        Set objDoc = objWord.Documents.Open(objFile.Path)
        objDoc.SaveAs objFSO.BuildPath(strDirectory, objFSO.GetFileName(objFile.Path))
        objDoc.Close
etc...

You will have to fill in the rest and init the variables, but this is working code.

HTH,
