Hello there.

I am just starting to get my hands dirty with AppleScript, and I'm running
into some trouble scripting Word.

I want to present the user with a save as dialog in Word, so they can choose
their own filename and location for the current document. Scripting MS apps
seems to involve "Do Visual Basic" steps, but so far my attempts at
recording and editing these result in errors, either in AppleScript or
Visual Basic.

Can anyone point me in the direction of an appropriate script step to prompt
a Word save as dialog.

I also need to return the filename and location to AppleScript. Any ideas
how I should do this?

Thanks in advance.

Giles.
