Hi
I have the following code which is pasting the same hard coded value every time (Test File.doc) instead of pasting from clipboard, Please help me change the code to pate from clipboard while renaming the file using save as.

ChangeFileOpenDirectory "C:\Documents and Settings\ssankees\Desktop\"
ActiveDocument.SaveAs2 FileName:= _
"Test File.doc", FileFormat:= _
wdFormatDocument, LockComments:=False, Password:="", AddToRecentFiles:= _
True, WritePassword:="", ReadOnlyRecommended:=False, EmbedTrueTypeFonts:= _
False, SaveNativePictureFormat:=False, SaveFormsData:=False, _
SaveAsAOCELetter:=False, CompatibilityMode:=0

Thanks, I found the solution to my problem. I wanted to paste the file name which was stored in the clipboard.

Dim DataObj As New MSForms.DataObject
DataObj.GetFromClipboard
Dim my_filename As String

my_filename = DataObj.GetText

ActiveDocument.SaveAs2 FileName:= _
my_filename, FileFormat:= _
wdFormatDocument, LockComments:=False, Password:="", AddToRecentFiles:= _
True, WritePassword:="", ReadOnlyRecommended:=False, EmbedTrueTypeFonts:= _
False, SaveNativePictureFormat:=False, SaveFormsData:=False, _
SaveAsAOCELetter:=False, CompatibilityMode:=0
