To prevent the Office Assistant from prompting you each time you save a document in a format other than Word Document (*.doc), you can create the following three Visual Basic for Applications macros. Name these macros "FileSave", "FileSaveAs", and "Save_SaveAs". Then type the following example Visual Basic for Applications code into each respective macro:

The FileSave Macro

Sub FileSave()

   ' If the document has not been saved
   ' display the File SaveAs dialog.
   If ActiveDocument.Saved = False Then
      ' Call the Save_SaveAs macro.
      Save_SaveAs
   Else
      ' Otherwise, save the document.
      ActiveDocument.Save
   End If
End Sub
				

The FileSaveAs Macro

Sub FileSaveAs()
   ' Call the Save_SaveAs macro.
   Save_SaveAs
End Sub
				

The Save_SaveAs Macro

Public Sub Save_SaveAs()

   ' **********************************************
   ' This macro replaces the default functionality
   ' of the FileSaveAs command.
   ' **********************************************
   Dim myDialog As Dialog
   Set myDialog = Dialogs(wdDialogFileSaveAs)
   ' Display the Dialog and save the document.
   If myDialog.Display Then
      ActiveDocument.SaveAs myDialog.Name, myDialog.Format, _
      myDialog.LockAnnot, myDialog.Password, myDialog.AddToMru, _
      myDialog.WritePassword, myDialog.RecommendReadOnly, _
      myDialog.EmbedFonts, myDialog.NativePictureFormat, _
      myDialog.FormsData, myDialog.SaveAsAOCELetter
   End If
End Sub
