no save function in Word

Version: 2004
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger)
Processor: Intel

I no longer have any options to 'save' or 'save as' in the drop-down File menu. All I can do is Apple 'S' but this just saves over the top of each article.

Make sure you didn't accidentally turn on "Word 5.1 Menus". Look under
View to see if there's a check next to that option. Uncheck if so. If
that isn't it:

If you go to Tools | Customize Toolbars/Menus, select the Menu Bar, and
click Reset, it should set all your main menus and built-in toolbars
back to the default.

If you have customized your menus or toolbars, you may want to explore
the Tools | Customize, Commands dialog, and drag the commands you are
missing back to the toolbars/menus yourself, rather than wipe out your
customizations by clicking Reset.

Hi Andy -

I'm fairly certain that Daiya's suggestions will help you fix things, but
just for future reference... You might want to consider assigning a keyboard
shortcut to the FileSaveAs command. The default is F12, but OS X's Dashboard
stole it I use Shift+Control+S myself.
