Question : Saving A Word Document opened from a template in MS Access with a specific name

I have a form with two fields, one being an auto-number and the other being test (numerical field).
The user fills out some digits in the Test field, the autonumber is generated. Upon clicking the command button a new instance of an MS word .doc file is opened based on a template.

By default the word document is given the name Document1.

What I would like it to do is create the .doc instance of the .dot file with a specific name. If I could get Access to open/save the word document with the filename being the number value from the Test field within the form, that would be ideal.

Here is my code thus far.
