Set Word Path to Path of Current Document -- How to?
Thanks. With your help, I got what I needed:
currpath = ActiveDocument.Path
ChangeFileOpenDirectory currpath
I used the ChangeFileOpenDirectory function instead of the DefaultFilePath
function because I didn't want to change the permanent document path (a la
Tools \ Options \ File Locations \ (File type: Documents). I just wanted to
change the directory where word looks the next time File \ Open is selected.
Thanks again for your help.
