Save as screen obscures document in Office 2013

When I save as, the screen obscures the document I am saving, so that I can't see any of the detail.  I tend to save the same document many times for different users, with slightly different changes each time, and I need to see the document itself to know what to call it.  Minimising the save as window does not make any difference, is there anything else I can try?

What you're seeing is the "Backstage," which you get when you click on the File menu. To avoid this when saving, go to File | Options | Save and check the box for "Don't show the Backstage when opening or saving files." If you add the Save As button to your Quick Access Toolbar, you can avoid the Backstage entirely.
