whats the difference between save and save as?? dont they both save whatever your saving?

Answer 1

"save" saves the document under the name it already has.

"Save as" allows you to save the document under a new name.

At work, I do quotations for customers several times a week. I open a document called "sample quote", and I use "save as" to save it under the customer's name.

Answer 2

If it is a new document they do the same thing. But if it is an existing document:

Save - it saves your work and replaces the old content. So the old content is gone

save as - allows you to change the name of the file so that you will have 2 files, the old one under the old name, and the new one that you are saving now. I frequently start a letter/etc from an existing one and just make the changes I need, then "save as" something else so I have a record of both. Or whatever reasons you want to keep a record of the original.

Answer 3

They both save what you are doing yes.
If you click save, it saves whatever you are working on to your default location on the computer, and gives it a default name.
Save as lets you choose where to put it on your computer and what you name it.
