Hi, this might be a stupid question but im a newbie, i was wondering if there is a way to stop a current action on a software. I was typing a document on word and i tried to save it but it hasn't stopped loading, the little swirling rainbow colored circle. Well i was wondering if there was a way that i can stop that action and get back to the document without losing it.

If you chose the option "always create backup copy" under preferences "save" you'll have a backup copy of the original document when you first opened it for editing. If not, then you risk losing the original plus any changes to it if you force quit Word. In any event, Word will try to salvage the document you were working on. However, it's not a given.
