The problem is that "SaveAs" binds OOo to the new file. What you need is
that OOo creates a Copy of the current file.
You could use a macro to achieve this:
sub SaveCopyOfDocument
dim document as object
dim dispatcher as object
document = ThisComponent.CurrentController.Frame
dispatcher = createUnoService("com.sun.star.frame.DispatchHelper")
dim args(0) as new com.sun.star.beans.PropertyValue
args(0).Name = "SaveTo"
args(0).Value = True
dispatcher.executeDispatch(document, ".uno:SaveAs", "", 0, args())
end sub
Please note that you must use at least one "usual" Save or SaveAs to
clear the "Modified" flag of your document.
