I explained all this in my reply 23 Jan. 2015 to your email -

my previous reply:

"Save As" has simply become "Duplicate" Duplicate is better than the old 
system. And so is "Revert To Saved", which works way better than the old Quit 
and then answer "No" to "Do you want so save your changes?". 

You get the same functionality with basically the same number of keystrokes 
overall, but you get a LOT more flexibility and a lot more safety net under you 
with the new system. 

For example, if you make some changes, then decide you don't want them and you 
"Revert To Saved", then Quit, the document will look just like it was before 
your changes. 
Drag-n-drop it, attach it to an email, it is unchanged. BUT you can actually 
retrieve the changes in the revision history if you later decide you want to 
look at them, or copy some of them, or actually use that version.

 A LOT more flexible, unless you're worried about subpoena's and want no 
evidence you ever thought of making any changes. (In which case, you should be 
worried about temp files and all kinds of other issues.) 

 A new feature of OS X Lion  is Auto Save, which is 
going to stop a lot of Mac users from doing the Command-S twitch. Versions is 
another related feature that keeps copies of different versions of your 
documents for posterity. 

 Auto Save takes a snapshot of whatever you happen to have open on the screen 
in an app at any particular time, and saves it for you. Let's say that you have 
TextEdit open with three different documents, all scattered about on your 27" 
display. 
None of the documents have been saved, and you suddenly realize that you need 
to leave for a meeting. You quit out of TextEdit, and the familiar "Do you want 
to save the changes you made in...?" dialog doesn't appear. No problem. 
The next time you launch TextEdit, all three of those documents open up in the 
exact same locations on your screen that they were in originally. 

 Use File > Save just once: When you do decide to save a new document, to give 
it a title and location on disk, use the File > Save menu item. 
Afterwards, the File > Save menu item won’t appear for this document. 
Instead, you’ll see File > Save a Version 

Work in a duplicate: If you’re about to do something in a document that might 
prove disastrous (such as a global Find-and- Replace), choose File > Duplicate 
to get a new, unsaved document whose contents are identical to the current 
state of the original document. 

 Export is self explanatory - if you wish to export your document, or print to 
PDF

Your running an OLD Version of Safari for Lion, Apple released Safari 6.1.6 for 
OS X 10.7.5
Have you run Software Update to see if it shows the Safari update?

If not you will can download it from here:
Download Safari 6.1.6 (OS X 10.7.5)

upgrade to lion 10.7.5 - feedback

[gdorn@me]

thanks to those who provided advice on my upgrade form 10.6.8 to Lion 10.7.5 - 
Daniel , Ronni etc

I had a significant problem with iCloud after the update. - ie mail iCal, 
address book not working at all ( crashing)

Eventually I rang Apple support and with the help of Harris in Sydney, fixed it 
up - took about 90 mins on the phone and his screen watching utility 

solution was a complete removal of User>Library folder

Evidently its a known fault that some people have issues with iCloud when 
upgrading and the heavy weight solution is to remove the library altogether , 
then rebuild it slowly via Time machine.

So its now working okay

My peeves with Lion are

In Preview

Save As has gone. instead   we have "save a version", "duplicate" - which does 
not suit me at all.
How do I change an image resolution /size now?

Lions Safari 5.1.7 does not work - (crashes on opening)

I copied v 5.1.10 from a macbook, and have to keep it in a separate folder .
