  Private Sub Document_New()
    Dim intResponse As Integer
    Dim strName As String
    Dim docLoop As Document
intResponse = MsgBox("Save all other documents?", vbYesNo)

If intResponse = vbYes Then
    strName = ActiveDocument.Name
    For Each docLoop In Application.Documents
        With docLoop
            If .Name <> strName Then
                .Save
            End If
        End With
    Next docLoop
End If

End Sub
