Save as allows you to save something with a new identity. Identity can be name, location, file type.
In other words, Save keeps changes you made to the file . Frequent Saves are a good idea, especially if you are making long edits/contributions. If there is a system problem, you are likely only to lose material you added since the last Save.
Save As creates a copy of the original. When you do a Save As, your original file will NOT have the changes you made since your last Save or Save As command. The changes will appear only in the new copy.
For example you could have a letter template that you created in Word called Letter.doc. You can go into the template and add personal info for a given client, and then Save As, changing the file name to reflect the client. You might do a Save As, changing the name to Letter_John_Doe.doc. Your original template, Letter.doc, remains unchanged, but you have a personalized version of the letter saved with the client's info called Letter_John_Doe.doc in your list of documents. Perhaps you want to make sure that the template never contains sensitive client information, including identity, or you are making extensive changes for each copy and must start with the same original material.

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.
