Just got an iMac. Apple Store tech transferred my old MS WORD .doc files to the iMac, and I can type additions to some continuing documents in Pages and I can then print the new info...but I cannot seem to Save the new info in Pages. What am I missing?

How are you trying to save the DOC files in Pages? Are you trying to keep them in DOC format or Pages format? If you're trying to keep the file as a DOC or DOCX file, you need to click on "File" from the top menu and then select "Export To" from the drop down menu. Then select "Word".
Thank you. Okay, so if I wanted to save the .doc document as a Pages document, then I would also export it to Pages doing the same thing you describe above? Either way, once it's exported and then saved, then I should be able to retrieve and print from it, right?

No. If you wish to save the document as "Pages", just click on the save icon and the DOC or DOCX file will be converted and saved as a Pages document. No need to use the export to.
