Hi

I have a Indesign CS3 file saved as a template, what I am trying to do is save the template as a document in a different place with a different name.

I have the below which works fine, but I have to paste the file name into the text field (which is stored on the clipboard) thrown via the prompt "save document 1 to (choose file name)", and manually choose a destination to save to.

I have the name of the new file, I have a new location for the file, but I am uncertain as
to how to go about executing a script to do what I am seeking, any help appreciated please.

-----------------------
				tell application "Adobe InDesign CS3"
					activate
					set myDoc to active document
					set Doc_Width to page width of document preferences of myDoc
					set Doc_Height to page height of document preferences of myDoc
					set _W to round {(Doc_Width)} as number
					set _X to result
					set _Y to round {(Doc_Height)} as number
					set _Z to result
					-------------
					if (_Z is "241" as number) and (_X is "311" as number) then
						set _H to "H"
						-------------	
					end if
				end tell
				set _folders to (folders of desktop whose name begins with "Q")
				repeat with _folder in _folders
					set _Name to name of _folder
					count words of _Name
					if the result is 2 then
						set _NewName to (text 2 thru 7 of _Name) & (text 9 thru -1 of _Name)
					else
						set _NewName to (text 2 thru -1 of _Name)
					end if
				end repeat
				set the clipboard to _NewName & "-" & _H as string

				tell application "Adobe InDesign CS3"
					save document 1 to (choose file name)
				end tell
			end tell
