I am not sure if this is what you are looking for, as this is very simple.
Go to the toolbar & click on file, click on the drop down menu, click on "Save As" & type in the new name. Note what directory you are saving it in, you can click on desktop, or documents, or wherever you want to save it.
For Word in Office 2007 the answer is:
To save an existing document with a different file name, use Save As on the Office Button menu.
The default file name is usually the first paragraph/line to suggest one. For example if your name was in the top of the document that would be your document file.
You may want to keep a separate copy. You may want to set a new version of the file. You may want to be able to make changes to a document, but not lose the original, so you save a copy with a different name. There are many other reasons for saving a document with a different name.
The default file name is usually the first paragraph/line to suggest one. For example if your name was in the top of the document that would be your document file.
File name
It will be in the title bar and also in the Properties.
File Name
If it is a new document that has not yet been saved the click on the Save or Save As option or the disk icon. You will be asked to select a name and location for the file. Select the folder you want and type pretest as the name for the file and click Save. If the document has been previously saved with a different name and/or in a different location, then you have to use the Save As option to start with and then proceed as already mentioned.
File name.
To save an existing document with a different file name, just go to menu item FILEthen Save As...Save As... allows you to save an item/document to whatever name or format you choose to. A good example of this is if you are working on a resumé (save as Resume1.doc) and you want to try a couple different styles without messing up the main document.You then simply make your changes and then Save As... and name it (save as Resume2.doc) and then you just continue doing this as needed, all the while keeping the Main completed document untouched and safe.Hope this helps you out.Æ =)
It allows you to save as a different file name, effectively creating an entirely new file instead of saving over the old one. The old one is kept.
