In addition to Adam's note, you also may disable the save options in the commandbar, like:
with oWord.CommandBars("Menu Bar").Controls("File")
FOR ia=1TO .controls.countIF"Save"$.controls(ia).accname
.controls(ia).enabled=.f.
ENDIFENDFORendwith
You will need to enabled them back upon closing oWord.
