The "Save as" dialog box will display the first time you save a file. You will indicate where to save it, give it a name, and indicate the type (Word, Excel, whatever).
This command can also be used to make a copy of the file under a different name. Example, to make modifications but keep the bulk of the file the same. You could also "save as" temp if you want to try something glorious and don't want to take a chance of messing up the original.
Save is what you do after you have used "Save as" to save the file to disk. It is used to save what you have done up to the current point. You should "save" your work frequently in case someone kicks the cord or you run into an error and the program is closed. It is also a good idea to save before making a new move in case it messes up. If you seriously mess up a file, you can File, Close and not save recent changes, or click the "undo" button and hope that does it for you.

When you first save something , you pick save as so you can input the name for the file. Later if you open it and change it (ie a word document), then you can hit save and it will save the changes to the document under the same name. If you want to keep both the older copy and the one with changes , then hit save as on the new copy and maybe put a different name or maybe the same name with a 1 or 2 etc behind it. ie copy, copy1, copy2

When you Save a document, you are just saving one that you have been working on or have had stored on your computer. When you Save As, you are creating a new document from another, usually with a new file name, to either create a new document from or to just save it from one place to another in the same name or a different name. (Not only documents, but photos, movies, etc....)

When you "Save" you'll save the document in the exact same format and with the same name you chose previously.
When you opt to "Save as" you can choose another format and another name for the file. But usually this will create a brand new document with the new name.

If a file has been saved before and you click on the "save" button it will just update the current file. If you click on "Save as" with the same file you can save it under a different filename and preserve the original.
If the file has never been saved before (say you just typed a document) and you click on either one, they will react just like the "Save As" button.

"Save" means that the computer simply saves it under the name the file already has.
"Save As" means that the computer expects you to give the file a brand new name to save it under.
If it is the first time you are saving the file, and you hit "Save", then it automatically switches to "Save As" because the file doesn't have a name yet.

'Save As' option is used when saving a file the first time. or when saving the same file under a different folder or different name.
After a file has already been created, saved as and closed, it is re-opened again for editing. Thereafter we used the 'Save' option which saves the file under the same folder and same name incorporating the changes made therein.

Easy
Save is: if you want the document to be saved in its original name and location.
Save As: is when you want to rename the document and/or save it in a different location.
