Using the "Save as" feature also allows you to make changes to the original document while keeping the original in tact. An example might be if you have a document created as a letter that you would send on more than one occasion. If you Save the document using "Save as" you can change the file name from the original to the new document saved as "name of document"then add the person who it is going to. Working with many nonprofit organizations I use this type of feature when acknowledging donations where I create the new document and then customize it as necessary including name and address of donor and filling in the amount of the donation as part of the acknowledgement.

save as is a double use item, 1. the first time you save a new item, the "save" command invokes the save as command so you can name the document, choose the file type you wish to save it as, and select the location where you want it saved.

the second time you use "save" it saves any changes you have made to the document since the last time it was saved. if you use save as, as the other person said, it allows you to change the file type, you can also change the name of the document, and where its saved

so if I have made a list of things required for a project, and wish to copy it to my roommates shared documents folder on the house network, I could copy it and paste it there, I could use the send options I have added to my send menu, or if I have it open, or wish to do it this way I can use the "save as" command in the file menu to select his shared drive as the "where to save" location, enter on the save button, and *bang!* he now has a copy of the document.

"Save as" I think allows you to save in a different format from the
original.

Example: you have a document with extension .docx and you nedd to save it
as a txt.

Hope that helps.

I have XP and 12.0
What is the difference between "Save" and "Save as"?
When would you use save as?

Thanks.

Rich
