I recently started a Word style application in MFC that utilises an MDI template. The way that the documents for it are saved though require extra information than what the default CRichEditView normally handles. To take care of this problem I overloaded the OnFileNew event. The problem I have though is that I don't know how to actually make the new file. I know how to get existing files using the GetDocument method but that's about it. Here is the code that I have so far for the overload.
