Hi,

to save CPH from doing his usual work. ;-)

Hi whoever (I don't expect "wakeupcallca2005-web" to be a name),

because you are not subscribed to the list you might have missed the

OOo can do this but it's not in the menu. It's more or less what happens
when you use the "Export" functions, but there the necessary filters are
not in the listbox.

You can get what you want by using the following macro:

Sub StoreCopy

  document   = ThisComponent.CurrentController.Frame
  dispatcher = createUnoService("com.sun.star.frame.DispatchHelper")
  dim args(0) as new com.sun.star.beans.PropertyValue
  args(0).Name = "SaveTo"
  args(0).Value = true
  Thisdispatcher.executeDispatch(document, ".uno:SaveAs", "", 0, args())

End sub

This will store your document to another place without making the new
location what you called "master file".

Best regards,
Mathias

[discuss] A cursory examination of MS Office OpenXML

I discovered that Microsoft considers ActiveX a sufficiently valuable part of 
the DOC and PPT etc, file formats that it has provided room in its draft MS 
Office OpenXML standard.

ActiveX is best known for its role as "Malware's Little Helper" and is part of 
the reason why Microsoft Windows networks spend an inordinate amount of time 
doing malware-scans, etc.
