Save, save as
This command is used to save or store your document or program to a specific location, such as your hard drive, your floppy disk, a CD or DVD disk, a flash drive (USB stick) or to a server or network location,...
Save
If your document already has a stored name, in other words, if this is a file that you have opened, worked on and then want to save again, simply selecting the save option will store all the changes in the current location of your document, or the default location that windows assigns to your document, which is us usually in the My Documents folder.
Save As
This function gives you more options.
With the save as selection you can chose where to store your document, what to name your document, and sometimes what format to save it as.
Where
At the top of the above picture, the top line next to Save In is a drop down menu that will give you choices as to where you can save your document. The left side also offers choices that open up in the center part of the Save As window.
Name
In our illustration, at the bottom next to File Name, we simply called the document: Example word document. You can change this and assign it any name you wish.
Format
For format we show part of the Save as type drop down menu, and we chose to save this document as a Word document type.
