    Generating a unique Savename from the body of a Wordfile

    Hi guys!

    I have a question about Word programming that I seek assistance with:

    If I have made an offer with for instance "offer1234" in the body of the document, can I have Word VBA look for that line of text, identify it and change the name of the file to Offer1234?

    So the text in the body is leading in this case. I only know some Excel VBA and therefore need assistance. I haven't written anything yet, but stumbled upon find functions.

    PLease help!

    It's easy enough to have Word locate the offer # and use that in saving the file, but it would also be easier to give specific advice if we could see the code it's to work with. That said, here's some code to get you started:
