New Event

Occurs when a new document based on the template is created. A procedure for the New event will run only if it is stored in a template.

Remarks

For information about using events with the Document object, see Using Events with the Document Object.

Example

This example asks the user whether to save all other open documents when a new document based on the template is created. (This procedure is stored in the ThisDocument class module of a template, not a document.)

Private Sub Document_New()
    Dim intResponse As Integer
    Dim strName As String
    Dim docLoop As Document

    intResponse = MsgBox("Save all other documents?", vbYesNo)

    If intResponse = vbYes Then
        strName = ActiveDocument.Name
        For Each docLoop In Application.Documents
            With docLoop
                If .Name <> strName Then
                    .Save
                End If
            End With
        Next docLoop
    End If
End Sub
