Until I checked it out just now, I didn't realise that the Save icon
used
in the Ubuntu version of LO is actually a broad green downward arrow
on
top
of a representation of a Hard drive. Now, I have had no problems
saving
documents, so I imagine that things like the position of the icon
(next
to
the Open File icon) and the tool tip are all part of identifying the
Save
icon. When I looked at the floppy disk icon on my wife's Win 7
version, I
realise how old fashioned it looks.

That is because you have your icon style set to 'Human'. Ubuntu
includes
openoffice.org-style-human and libreoffice-style-human in their
repositories. If LO provided the same set the default to 'Human' the
save icon would be the same (disk drive with a down arrow).
Correction: libreoffice-style-humanity
See: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/757304
Thanks for the explanation of why Ubuntu is different.
The point I am making is that an old fashioned floppy disk is not the only
icon
used for Save and the world will not come to an end if some other
appropriate,
and more modern, icon is used in its place. Having said that, a hard drive
may
be old fashioned in a few years time when SSDs become the norm.
