I have a .docm file that is being used as a template-file (parent file) and I would like to create child-files (with different names and directories) directly from this file without changing the name/directory of the parent-file. I tried the following:
Dim parent_document As New Word.Document
Dim child_document As New Word.Document
Set parent_document = ActiveDocument
Set child_document = parent_document
child_document.SaveAs2 doc_path & "\" & item & ".docx"
Unfortunately the name/directory of the active document changes to that of the child-document. I thought by using the New keyword I am creating separate instances of the activedocument. Any suggestions?
Thanks!
