Hi Eric, Much easier than I thought. I'm so accustomed to the Save As dialog and do not see that in TextEdit or Pages. Thanks. Les On Jun 7, 2012, at 7:54 AM, erik burggraaf wrote: Hi, In finder, press enter on the file name and you will be focussed on an edit box. Type the new name

I think this is where the Duplicate file command comes in. Unfortunately, they don't have a hot key assigned to this yet but you can get there from the File submenu. When you choose that option, you should be prompted for a new file name. As a side note, I heard a lengthy conversation about Save

Yes, I use the duplicate function to make copies of data sheets for different students/classes. This works well for the purpose. Although, you have to get used to not editing the original file. I suppose you could lock the file. Then, whenever you tried to edit it, you would be prompted to

Also, when I select duplicate from the file menu, I am not prompted for a new file name until I save or close the file. I have only used the feature in Numbers though. I can't say if it works differently in other applications. -Greg On Jun 7, 2012, at 10:15 AM, Steve Holmes wrote: I think

I wasn't sure if you could automatically rename the file right after duplicating or not; haven't used this feature much yet. I think this concept is harder to get used to when we had it the other way on other platforms for so long. You might also try dup/renaming the file in finder first and

Hi, What you describe of a template file, is supported. You should find a stationary check box in the get info field. Stationary, lets you open up a template document and will force you to save it under a new name without altering the original. I do not run Lion, but I am fairly certain

Hi Eric. That's the way I do it, too for the same reason. It's a little extra step, but it saves you from figuring out what awful thing happened and then having to try and get another version back. I've had to get a sighted person to get some further back versions before, so now I just keep
