How do I save a Pages doc to my desktop folders?

Hi, I'm new to Mac and Pages and want to save a document to a folder on my desktop. But I don't have Save As as an option in File. I appear to be able to save only to iCloud or Documents essentially. Any suggestions?

iMac, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)

When you are ready to save your Pages doc, hold down the option key while selecting the File menu. Now, Save As ... appears. Select it.


Initially, you will see iCloud on the selector. Click and hold, then choose Desktop from the drop down menu.

Now, click on the little down-arrow. This opens a file selection window on the Desktop, where you can scroll to the existing Folder, create a new one, and then save your file.
