Forgive me if these are silly questions, but I am very new to writing macros.

I have a .dotm template with an AutoNew() macro, and I am trying to figure
out how to do 2 things:

1) When I have the file save, I want it to save in the same directory as the
template is in, rather than in My Documents. How do I do this?

2) The macro inserts content into the document from a number of external
files. Once this is done, I'd like to have it update the table of contents.
How do I do that?

Thank you!

Kaiti

With ActiveDocument
.TablesOfContents(1).Update
.SaveAs .AttachedTemplate.Path & "\filename"
End With
