So something like this?:

Global $Filename = ""
While $filename = ""
    $Filename=InputBox("new Document","Enter the new Document filename")
    If @error then
        ; Cancel pressed - Exit script
        Exit
    EndIf
WEnd
FileWrite($filename&".docx","")
ShellExecute("WinWord",$filename&".docx")

@Jos Thank you for the example! Works very well!

Thank everyone for helped me!

@Jos My last question is : 

How would you add a ”Send(”^S”) ”  to a line

after the ShellExecute?

Asking this question means you are not understanding your own script so start with studying it and learn by trying.

Why don't you use the Word UDF that comes with AutoIt to create / modify Word documents?

[water]

Simple example:

#include <Word.au3>

Global $sFilename = ""
While $sFilename = ""
    $sFilename = InputBox("New Document", "Enter the new Document filename")
    If @error Then Exit ; Cancel pressed - Exit script
WEnd

; Start up the Word application
Global $oWord = _Word_Create()

; Create a new word document
Global $oDoc = _Word_DocAdd($oWord)

; Insert some text in bold at the beginning
Local $oRange = _Word_DocRangeSet($oDoc, -1)
$oRange.Text = "Bold text at the beginning. "
$oRange.Bold = True

; Save the document to the script directory
_Word_DocSaveAs($oDoc, @ScriptDir & "\" & $sFilename & ".docx", $WdFormatDocumentDefault)

@water Can the destination be the Documents folder?

@FrancescoDiMuro Hello!

I tested your suggestion and then realized it Wasnt what result I looked for so I searched on Google, then I found out @MyDocumentsDir and tested it. @MyDocumentsDir is the one that suits my needs best!

The help file provides a full list of all available macros: https://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/docs/macros.htm

Hello everyone!

I want to say thank you to everyone here for your help!

Help is worth gold!

Just signed in to let everyone here to know that my final product is done now, thanks to everyone here!

All your help has been worth GOLD for a AutoIt beginner like me!

My final product is now a icon on my desktop that asks me for a filename, creates a .docx  document with my input as the name and opens the newly created document in Word.

My final product is now also a backup folder :

Have a great day!
