Word – “Save As” Command Button in MS Word 2016

microsoft wordmicrosoft-word-2016ribbonsave astoolbar

I can't find any way to add a "Save As" command button to my Ribbon or Quick Access Toolbar.

  • When I search through "All Commands" in the customization menu, there doesn't seem to be any "Save As" command.

I know that there is a "Save As" option under the File tab, but I'd like to have a "Save As" button available for my quick access toolbar.

Word 2016 seems to have maintained the save button, so why not the "Save As" button?

So…

  1. If the "Save As" command button exists, how do I add it to my Ribbon or Quick Access toolbar?

  2. If the "Save As" command button doesn't exist, how could I add/create one?

Here is a screenshot of Word 2016 (Windows 7) showing the "Save" button but lack of "Save As" button.

While this isn't a solution to your question, pressing F12 will open up the SaveAs dialog box.

You can also save this macro to your Normal document, then assign the macro to a button that goes on your toolbar.

Sub saveAs()
    Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogSaveAs).Show 
End Sub

When I renamed my macro then re-added it to the toolbar, it seems to work every time from the button.
