Default Keyboard shortcut not working in Word 2007

I'm with Graham. If I use Ctrl+S for an unsaved document in Word 2007, I get
the Save As dialog. But if a user wants a keyboard shortcut specifically for
Save As (i.e., to save an already named document with a different name),
then one will have to be assigned, as there is not one by default.

And I would be surprised if "nothing happens" when Ctrl+S is pressed; it may
be that the save is so quick that the user doesn't notice that anything is
happening, and he might get this impression if he was expecting a dialog box
to open, but, if the document contains changes, it will be saved.

That doesn't sound right? CTRL+S will (should) display the SaveAs dialog
if the document has not been saved?
CTRL+S should be assigned, by default, to the FileSave function - in fact
the same as F12.

Also, what may be confusing is that Ctrl+S doesn't not function until
a new document has been saved. So the first save occasion, you have
to use F12; then Ctrl+S will work.

Hi,

I have Office 2007. In Word 2007, the keyboard shortcut for Save As
is Ctrl
+ S. However, when I type Ctrl + S, nothing happens. How can I
correct this
problem?

Thank you.
