How does the "SAVE AS" function work in Word 2007?
The "Save As..." allows you to save in a word format as well as a format other that a Microsoft Word document (.doc is the extension). This allows you to save in the formats you mentioned. Clicking save will only allow you to save in the word format (with the .doc extension.) If you plan on using the document on another computer and you are not sure which version of word it has loaded then using save as will allow you to save in a format compatible with most eariler versions. The "other formats" might be a straight text file (.txt), posibly an HTML file (.htm, or .html for websites) or others depeding on which version you have.





Hope that helps!
