It's a button (officially called the Office Button, but some of us have taken to calling it the pizza button). Click it to get more-or-less the equivalent of the old File menu, including the Save As item. Also note that if you hover over but don't immediately click the Save As, you'll get a sub-menu where you can choose any of several ways of saving. One is to save in the older Word 97 - 2003 format so you can share the document with people who use older versions, and another is to save as a PDF file (for which you need a free download from Microsoft). These options are also available from the "Save as type" dropdown of the Save As dialog, but that takes more clicks. Explore the rest of the menus on the Office Button -- there are some interesting new features. Also note the Options button at the bottom of the menu, which replaces the old Tools > Options dialog. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.

Note that if you press the ALT key on its own, all the shortcuts are highlighted on the Ribbon buttons. -- Terry Farrell - MS Word MVP "Daniel" <none[ at ]none> wrote in message news:%23JqpdNfqHHA.1200[ at ]TK2MSFTNGP04.phx.gbl...
