I used to use Save As… to remember the directory I was saving a file in, but that seems to have disappeared with the latest OS.
I have a file open in TextEdit. How does one go about finding the directory that this file is currently being saved to? I can see the name and I can "open recent" (which just displays the name), but, once open, I can't actually figure out how to determine where this file is located.
The format menu has a toggle to switch things for you.
Pressing shift + command + T will toggle the document to plain text mode.
You can also set the default format in the preference pane for the app.
First, use TextEdit, don't use Word.
Before you save your document, select Make Plain Text from the Format menu. (If the menu says Make Rich Text then you are already in plain text mode.)
If you save the document now, you should be able to give it whatever extension you want. Since the file is plain text, you can be sure that TextEdit won't add any additional formatting instructions that will turn it into an incorrectly-formatted CSS file.

Try pressing Command⌘ while you left-click on the document window title text. It will show the folder hierarchy in a pop-up menu.
