While you should really make your question clearer in the post, I've done some work with scripting Excel so I know that asking for confirmation to save is controlled by the Application.DisplayAlerts property. If you set that to false, Excel (and Word) should save the file with default values.

Hopefully that will solve your problem. However, this isn't really a Perl problem. MSDN is quite handy for these types of queries, and you should probably use that instead. Familiarize yourself with the Word Object Model.

Good luck.

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
