what is the easy way to save word files to SharePoint 2013
Dear Experts,
What is the best and easy way to save MS word files to SharePoint 2013.
Instead of providing manually SharePoint location every time to save their word file we would like to give them easy and short location like my document or drive. Please advice
Thanks

If your users have limited rights to the computer, that is a group policy issue, not a sharepoint issue.
I would recommend you use group policy to create a network place or map a drive to the document library for these users.

those who has full access on SharePoint they are able to access the map drive but those who has read only access on SharePoint they couldn't able to access the Map drive
I'm confused...
You want to SAVE documents to SharePoint, but your users have 'read-only' access to SharePoint?
I'm afraid the level of assistance required is beyond the scope of this forum.

Sorry for that, since we have created the map drives for department level, the read only access users are not able to view the maped libraries files please advice.

Could just be an access rights issue. Can you verify if you created a favorite that they can open it?
Create a favorite, copy it to some shared location and test with one of your users.

I have tested with full access users, I can able to add favorites but i am not able to open from favorites until i login to the SharePoint from IE

This means that you have no single sign on implemented or that your saved credentials are not stored.
So to answer your question (we would like to give them easy and short location like my document or drive): you can do this using the favorites suggestion I made, that is working for you.
The access rights for the users with limited rights is really another question that you need to think about what you want.
