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=1 TO .controls.count
	IF "Save"$.controls(ia).accname
	   .controls(ia).enabled=.f.
	ENDIF
    ENDFOR
endwith

You will need to enabled them back upon closing oWord.
