Hi,

Is there anyway to distinguish between an explicit, user-initiated save and
an autosave in DocumentBeforeSave in a Word AddIn?

Best regards
Birger

Not as far as I know. Unless by "Add-in" you mean code in a Word template.
Then it should be possible.

OR: you remove Word's menu and toolbar buttons and block out the keyboard
shortcut. Replace the buttons with your own. There's no way you can replace
the keyboard shortcut without including a VBA project. Keyboard shortcuts in
Word can only be assigned to VBA Code, not to outside add-ins. This code could
be part of a template Add-in, however.

Hi Cindy,

By AddIn I do mean a true AddIn (dll).
In my AddIn I intercept the DocumentBeforeSave event to pop up a dialog.
This obviously is extremely annoying during an autosave.

I this particular project using templates is not an option.

Anyway, thanks for your input.

Best regards
Birger

I was afraid of that :-) Yes, this topic has come up before in these
Office.Developer groups. A Google search would probably turn those up. If I
recall correctly, in one of the discussions (dating back a couple of years)
a Microsoft person even said there's no way to distinguish.
