Solution 2

If you use a SaveFileDialog to ask the user where they would like to save the file to, then you can set the OverwritePrompt property to true, and then the user will be prompted if they want to overwrite an existing file.

Well, you could look at the Microsoft Tools for Office, for ways to control Word via .NET, but I'm not sure they will allow you to do that. Word itself should prompt you to save a file, and Process.Start on a .doc file will open it in Word.
