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!!!

Did you select to create the new folder in Finder/Desktop, and not in iCloud/One drive?

The you should be able to choose Desktop in the sidebar of the Finder and then select your folder.
