Yup. I'm sorry Donna. I didn't read your post first so I thought you hadn't already saved the document. This is true there is no save as as we all know it but, here's what you do. stop interacting with the scroll area in text edit and navigate over to the versions menu button. In this menu choose duplicate. Here you will be able to rename or save the document in another format.
