    saving word document using VB

    I have a OLE control on the Form which contains a word document as an embedded object.
    my code for generating the word file is as follows
    ole1 is the name of the OLE Control
    rtb is the name of the RichTexBox Control

    freefilenum = freefile
    OLE1.doverb -2
    OLE1.datatext = rtb.RTFtext

    the above code opens a new word document window with caption saying "document in Unamed "
    Now I problem is how to save this opend document


    I tried saving the file using the OLE's
    OLE1.SSvetofile freefilenum

    but it is saved in the binary format (and i don't know where is it saved)
    i.e all junk charcters are saved

    How to identify the opened unnamed word document and then save that file..


    Thanks..

    Any reason why you want to use OLE? Its not as powerful as directly automating word using the Word Object Model.
