FileSave

Syntax

FileSave

Saves the active document or template. If the document is not named, FileSave displays the Save As dialog box.

Example

This example creates a sample document and saves it twice. The first time, the FileSaveAs dialog will appear because the file has not yet been named. The second save does not show any dialogs.

   Sub MAIN
      FileNewDefault
      Insert "This is a test of FileSave"
      FileSave
      MsgBox "Since the document has been saved once, The SaveAs " + \ 
      "dialog will not appear."
      InsertPara
      Insert "This is another test of FileSave."
      FileSave
   End Sub
