- Pressing Ctrl+S (Save) on an unsaved document lets you pick a name, format, and location (your default save folder unless you manually pick another). The "Save As" command does the same thing only with unsaved documents (separate tutorial explains how to save as PDF).
- When called on an already saved document, Save-As creates a copy saved under a different file name, format, and/or location - leaving you with the "new" document opened in Word 2010.
- Click on "File" (top left), and choose "Save As". Pick your options, and click "Save":
Tip: to avoid future confusion, it's a good idea to delete or rename the original copy, or move it to a different folder (so you don't mistakenly end up editing the old version!) In doubt, look at the title bar (top "border") for the name of the document you're currently editing.
- To rename a document (change the name of the file instead of copying it under a different name), start by closing the document. Then, navigate to the folder in which it is stored, either in Windows Explorer, or by pressing Ctrl+O to show the Open dialog.
- Click to select the file, and press F2 (or right-click on it and choose "Rename").
Caution: to rename a document and change its file type, "Save As" first to convert format (typing a different file extension will create problems), and optionally delete the original file.
- Type the new document name, making sure not to accidentally remove the file extension, and hit Enter. Now that the file has its new name saved, open it in Word to resume editing.
