How do I save word docs in a file I have on my desk top? Hi All, Please help!!! I am new to a Mac book, have literally no idea how to save a word doc in particular, to my desktop. I created a folder on my desktop for a course I am doing, I have to save a lot of files. But when I'm in the word doc, I go to File, Save As BUT ... then there is no 'desktop' option. Only Onedrive, One drive for Business and share point... I can't figure out how to add Desktop or what I have to do to achieve saving files in the file on my desktop. Please help!!! Kate

Word is irrelevant here.

Dragging and dropping between a couple of Finder windows would be typical.

Select one or more files, drag them, and drop them into the Finder window open to the target directory.

If that's not working for some reason, reboot and try again.
