Save does just that and saves the file so you can use it later. You can save the file to my documents, a USB stick or anywhere on your computer.

Word files are usually saved in either .doc or .docx format

'Save as' let's you save the change you made as a different file or different file format. For example, if you type a document and then open it and change it, you could make a different file to have both versions of the document or you can save the document to be compatible with an earlier version of the word.

Microsoft Word is a word-processing software.

'Save' is for saving work so it can be used later.

For example, open a new Word document, and type up your favorite meatloaf recipe.

Then you 'save' the recipe as a document.

When saving the document, you can choose a name for the document: meatloaf recipe.

Later you can locate meatloaf recipe document that you saved. Then open the document again by clicking on it, and read your recipe.

You can change the recipe so there is one more egg, and then 'save' again, and changes are saved.

There are two ways to 'save' Word documents: Click the 'save icon' or go to File, and select 'save as' or 'save'

In both cases the Word document is 'saved' so you can locate and use the information again.

It means to store a file on a disk. In order to ensure you don't lose your work, you save it onto your computer or maybe a USB key.

The Save As function allows you to save a copy of your word document in a different name or format. This copy is separate from the original one.
