Word Field-Code IF statement execute (w/oVBA) before SaveAs Dialog. Field-Code Example: " If {REF DocProperty Title <> "" ...} "

Word 365 File Name Time Stamp Automation w/o VBA.

I use Field-Code formula in 1st Paragraph (White Font). Word Save As but Correct Name only appears on 2nd SaveAs.

Details .

Assuming reason (I'm unaware of) NOT to update other field before Print, I need IF statement execute before SaveAs Dialog.
Field-Code Example: " If {REF DocProperty Title <> "" ...} "

Is there alternative (non-VBA) to automate File Name for Word?

Hi @SunnyWong-5292,
Welcome to Q&A forum!
Per my research and testing, as Stefan Blom said in this thread: "A suggested file name (in the Save As dialog box) will start at with the first character in the first text paragraph and end with the character prior to the first punctuation mark".
If you want to achieve the expected results, you may have to get help from VBA, and I have not found a suitable alternative currently.
Thanks for your understanding!

Besides, if you have any suggestions about MS Word, I suggest you go to File>Feedback in Word to submit them.
Hope youe issue will be resolved as soon as possible.
