Saving in Microsoft Office Word for Windows

Question:

How do I save a document in Microsoft Office Word for Windows?

Answer:

To save a document in Microsoft Office Word, perform the following steps:

Office 2007

Click Office button
Select Save As
Select the location where you want to save the file
Enter a name for the file in the File name field
Ensure Save as Type is Word Document (*.docx) or Word 97-2003 Document (*.doc)
Click Save

Office 2010 - 2016 and Office 365 Pro Plus

Click File
Select Save As
Select the location where you want to save the file. Note: Word saves the document in a default location. To save the document in a different location, select another folder or location before you click Save. If you do not see desired location, click on the Browse button
Enter a name for the file in the File name field
Ensure Save as Type is Word Document (*.docx) or Word 97-2003 Document (*.doc)
Click Save

Notes:

If you are unable to save, the document may be in protected mode or office is not activated. See additional information about protected mode.
If syncing with OneDrive, going to File will give the option Save a Copy instead of Save As. Clicking Save a Copy and then Browse will allow the student to choose a local folder to save a copy of the document to.
