Save and Save As What is the difference ?

To the uninitiated there is confusion as to the difference between Save and Save as. So here is a simple explanation When for example you are writing a .doc in Word ( Or it could be a Photo in Adobe ), and you have not saved it before. In those circumstances you would click “ Save “ which would then give you the option to name the file. If you have saved your work at least once before and press “ Save “ the original file will be overwritten with the alterations ,or additions which you have made.

Now if you want to keep the original then this is where you click “ Save as” And this makes and additional file which you are requested to name and in all probability you would name it the same as the first but add the figure “ 2 “ onto the end. Now you know when to use “ Save as “ Yes ?
