[mso] Re: Auto-designating Varied "Save To" in Word 97

This TechTrax article tells you how to save sequentially numbered docs.
You can use this code and modify it the way you want the files to be
numbered and then attach the code to the template.

Greetings from a lurker who has more to learn than most of you have
forgotten (to paraphrase my grandfather),

For the time being I'm using Office Pro 97 (hoping or dreaming of
switching over to Macs, OS X, Office for Mac and FileMaker!). While I
could do the following with Access Forms and Word MailMerge I don't have
enough CPU speed and memory to do it efficiently. 

I know that when I create a new document and save it for the first time
Word looks at the first line of the document and suggests the characters
of that line as the document title and suggests that I save it in my
default document directory.

Now my questions:

1) Is there any way to suggest the name of a document created with a
certain template without the name appearing as text in the first line of
the document?

For instance, if the document's header has as its first line:

     Daily Report

but I wanted that document always saved as:

     Jones John (date field)

is there any way to automate that?

and as a related quesition:

2) Is there any way to designate for a given template a directory for
files created with that template?

In the above example, all files created with that template would always
be saved in:

C:/Reports/Jones John/
as:
C:/Reports/Jones John/Jones John 2002-08-01.doc C:/Reports/Jones
John/Jones John 2002-08-08.doc C:/Reports/Jones John/Jones John
2002-08-15.doc etc.

Thanks.

Paul
