SUMMARY
You can use the following macro in any version of Microsoft Word for Windows to create a subdirectory on any drive:

 Sub MAIN On Error Goto Bye Input &quot;Sub directory name &quot;, a$ MkDir a$ Bye: End Sub When you run the above macro, the message &quot;Subdirectory name?&quot; appears on the status bar. Type a name for the subdirectory, and press ENTER. The subdirectory is created on the current directory that Word for Windows is pointing to. For example, if you choose Open from the File menu and see that Word for Windows is pointing to the C:\WINWORD directory, creating a directory with this macro creates a subdirectory under WINWORD.

This macro makes it convenient to create new directories for Word for Windows documents without having to leave the program.
