Script to automatically make a copy of a Google Document for editing

Question

I feel like a total noob posting here. I know CSS, HTML, and XML pretty well but have always avoided JS. I know very little javascript and recently started a Lynda.com course

Answer 1

Update as of 2015, Google Script removed the fileId for reasons unknown. The previous method of appending "/copy" to the URL of the Google doc has been re-enabled. Ex) https://docs.google.com/document/d/1GTGuLqahAKS3ptjrfLSYCjKz4FBecv4dITPuKfdnrmY/copy
