Check Message #1251814 to see how to get Desktop path, then just save the file there:

#define CSIDL_DESKTOP 16
lcPath = SPACE(500)
DECLARE INTEGER SHGetFolderPath IN SHFOLDER.DLL ;
   INTEGER hwndOwner, ;
   INTEGER nFolder, ;
   INTEGER hToken, ;
   INTEGER dwFlags, ;
   STRING @ pszPath
IF SHGetFolderPath(0, CSIDL_DESKTOP, 0, 0, @lcPath) == 0
   lcPath = ADDBS(ALLTRIM(lcPath,1,CHR(0),CHR(32)))
ENDIF
.....
LOCAL oWord AS Word.Application
oWord = CREATEOBJECT([Word.Application])
oWord.Documents.Add()
oWord.ActiveDocument.SaveAs(lcPath+[NameOfDoc])

Not tested very well and no error handling included.
