The Save option differs from Save As in that it saves the document with its default title and at the default location. On the other hand, the Save As option allows one to change the location and title of a document.

Document X is your original/unedited document.

Document Y is the edited version of X that you intend to save/save as.

Save = save all changes made to the document X itself. Document X is deleted and replaced by Y. There's no way that you get back the original information of X.

Save As = Document Y is saved as a different copy and document X is kept. The you will have both document X and Y in your computer and you can revert back to the changes made to document X.

In a currently opened format and in some other format are the respective uses of the "Save" and "Save As" options.

Specifically, the "Save" option amounts to making sure that changes are permanent as the user goes through the currently opened format and that they are not lost if the computer crashes or malfunctions. The "Save As" option indicates that - whatever the user expects to do with the currently opened format - there is another place or way in which the application or document needs to be available. It is a good idea to combine both options - by regularly using the "Save" option - when the final product will be stored elsewhere through the "Save As" option.

The save as dialog box appears every time you save a file?

The very first time you save, you will get the Save As dialog box. After that, as long as you use the Save option from the File menu, as opposed to the Save As option, you will not see the Save As dialog box again. You can also do it by pressing and holding the Ctrl key and pressing S, or by clicking on the icon on the toolbar. Only if you want to change the way you are saving it, like using a different name or a different location, do you need to use Save As again.
