If a document has not been saved yet, both buttons will do the same thing, that is ask you where to save the file and what to call it. But if the file has already been saved, the "Save" button automatically re-saves it to where it was saved before, whereas the "Save as" button will ask you again where to save it and what to call it, and if you select the already saved file, it will ask you whether or or not you want to replace it.

Save and save as in the file menu?
Both Save and Save As appear in the file menu of all Microsoft applications. There is a difference between the two. The very first time you use Save on a new file, it will actually bring you to the Save As option. Save As will save the current file after you've given it a name, a location and a file type for it to be saved as. After that, any time you choose Save, it will save that file with the same name, into the same location and as the same type of file, without asking you. If you want to save that file with a different name or to a different place or as a different type, then you would use Save As again, and you would be given the chance to use those options.
