Hi @Karen Viereck, 

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum. 

Thank you for reaching out regarding your situation where you don’t see the Save As option in Word. I can completely understand how inconvenient it is when you’re unable to save your Word document to a specific folder in OneDrive. 

According your concern, if you are using Word on the web, this behavior is expected. There is no Save or Save As option under the File tab because documents are saved automatically as you work. As an alternative to Save As, you can use File > Create a copy, then select OneDrive, browse to the desired folder, rename the file if needed, and create the copy. This will save the document directly to the specified OneDrive folder. 

If you are using the Word desktop application and are still experiencing this issue, please take a screenshot of the page when you go to File > Account and share it here.  

I hope this information is helpful. Please follow the steps above and let me know if it works for you. If not, we can continue working together to resolve the issue.  

Thank you for your patience and understanding. If you have any questions or need further assistance, please feel free to share them in the comments so I can continue to support you. If you found the response useful, please consider marking it as accepted, as this may help other community members who are looking for similar guidance.  

I look forward to continuing the conversation.
