Am on OS X El Capitan and using Microsoft Word for Mac version 15.25.
When I try to "save as" to put a copy in a different folder, nothing happens.
MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X El Capitan (10.11.6)
on earlier versions of MSO for OS X initial saves can not be "save as...", subsequent saves can be "save as..." once the file is saved normally.
Must have been fixed somewhere along the way, though I couldn't tell you in what point release of Office 2016. If I start a new Word document (also under the current 15.25 katemboston is using), Save and Save As… are both available choices and both work to save the document no matter which one I choose first.

Not enough info. What does "nothing happens" mean? No dialogue box comes up? The file isn't saved even though you click Save after entering a name and choosing a location?
Hi, correct - no dialogue box comes up. It is intermittent in Word. I can save and "save as" sometimes. Then at other times I click on "save as" and nothing happens. It is happening right now this morning to me. I also click "save" and nothing happens. Then, when I hit the red exit button to shut down, it will bring up a dialogue box and ask me if I want to save. I say yes, and then I can save it.
To see if it's system wide or local issue, create a new test account and login to it. Try Word there. If it works as it should every time, then something is wrong specifically in your normal user account. If it has the same issue, then it's an OS issue.
Why doesn't "save as" work in Word for Mac?
