How do I save excel file with new name?

Returning to using a Mac after 20 years - so not familiar with many things.
I have an existing Excel file that I am using and making changes to... how do I save it as a new file name?
I click on the 'disk' icon on the top ribbon but that just saves it as the same file-name with an updated time-stamp... that won't work for me.
Much appreciate any help!

Top of screen: FILE -- Save as... Name it - top rectangle and pick a place to save it. DONE.

In Pages how do I save a file with another name

In Pages how do I save a file with another name?

I don't know if there is a less cumbersome way to do this (I'm still pretty new to Lion) but This is what I do - since "Save As" seems to be gone with Lion.
I create a duplicate document - then click the red button to close the document - and a dialog box pops up and asks if you want to save the changes - I change the name in there and then save the file under the new name.
You can also save the copy to the desktop - get info - and then change the name if the finder window.
I copied this from the Pages help area. These help instructions were created pre-Lion I'm sure.
Saving a Copy of a Document
If you want to make a copy of your document—to create a backup copy or multiple versions, for example—you can save the document using a different name or location. (You can also automate saving a backup version, as Automatically Saving a Backup Version of a Document describes.)
To save a copy of a document:
Choose File > Save As and specify a name and location.
The document with the new name remains open. To work with the previous version, choose File > Open Recent and choose the previous version from the submenu.

There is no 'Save as' under the file menu. How do I save a file with another name?

Numbers help refers to the 'Save As' function in the File menu. My version (latest) does not have a 'Save As' function. How do I save a file with another name?

Badunit. You have an original file and an edited file. Now you duplicate the edited file and save it with a different name. Now do you have to go and delete the changed file from which the duplicate had been made? And.... is the original still unchaned... still original?
Ross,
For the situation you describe, Apple has provided Duplicate and Revert. Use File > Duplicate to reach this menu:

Can't save any file with any name-InDesign CC

can't save any file with any name-file DBTmp4376-863643269 is damaged (error code:0)
InDesign CC, OS version 10.9.1
I explored solutions to failure in background task alert which did not work. Been using adobe products since they came on the scene. Nothing like this. Please help.

I'm using version 9.2.
Yes, it started with a new file. Support gave me the solution to save it to my desktop which worked. When I put it back in the original folder and opened/save it would not save to that folder. Created a new folder and was able to open & save to the new folder. That seems to be a workable solution. How a folder can become corrupt is a bit scarey.
In experimenting with solutions I received another error "failure in background task alert" and discovered CS5 problems with background task.
However the solutions for CS5 did not work in my incidence.
I sure would like to prevent this from happening again. If you have any insights please share them. Otherwise I will just accept the experience as another computer workaround and be thankful that I have it.
Thanks for responding.

I need to create an action or script to save the file with the name of the selected layer

I need to create an action or script to save the file with the name of the selected layer (not including the hidden layers, but including those visible).
How could modify the script: 'Layer Comps To Files.jsx' to get the result?
Warning: I do not need to export all layers as files.
Who can help me?
THX in advance

Versione in Italiano (Further down the English version)
NB - Nella versione inglese ho messo tutte le immagini dei menu in italiano.
Versione per Mac, ma credo sia identico per Windows.
Spiego passo passo cosa ho fatto:
- Ho creato un file esempio con tre Livelli, salvato sulla scrivania e ho chiuso il file.
- Ho aperto il file e selezionato il Livello al centro per iniziare a registrare una azione che ho chiamato: Save with Name of Selected Layer
- Nuova azione
- Dare il nome e premere Registra
Ora salva…
- Menu --> Livello --> Nuovo --> Livello... e premi -ok-, (lascia il nome che viene mostrato)
- Ancora una volta Menu --> Livello... --> Nuovo --> Livello... e premi -ok-, (lascia il nome che viene mostrato)
- Menu --> Livello --> Ordina --> Dietro
- Menu --> Livello --> Unisci sotto
- Menu --> Livello --> Unisci visibili
- Menu --> Livello --> Nuovo --> Livello... e premi -ok-, (lascia il nome che viene mostrato)
- Menu --> Livello - Nascondi Livello
- Menu --> Elimina --> Elimina livelli nascosti (press -Yes-)
- Menu --> Livello --> Nuovo --> Livello... Inserisci questo: 'Move this to the trash' e premi ok
- Menu --> File --> Script --> Esporta Livelli in File... (Nella finestra che si apre scegliere l’opzione che si desidera, ma togliere il prefisso del nome) e premere -Esegui-
- Selezionare il pannello Storia cliccare su Elimina premendo -Si- ogni volta che si apre la finestra di dialogo (Ripetere 8 volte questa operazione sino ad arrivare nella storia alla condizione di partenza. Ho visto che è meglio di Ripristina -F12-)
- Fermare la registrazione.
A questo punto, mandando in esecuzione questa Azione, ho raggiunto parzialmente l’obiettivo perché i file così creati mantengono, purtroppo, dei prefissi numerici per evitare probabilmente la sovrascrizione di file (credo senza avviso) nel posto dove vengono creati.
Per ottenere l’obiettivo occorre un nuovo passo ed a proposito di questo riferisco quanto segue:
ATTENZIONE - L’operazione descritta qui di seguito deve essere fatta su di una copia del file, per cui:
- Duplicare il file,
- Spostare l’originale in altra cartella
- Lavorare sul file duplicato.
mi riferisco a questo...
ATTENZIONE - Questa modifica è effettuata a proprio rischio e pericolo ed il sottoscritto non si assume alcuna responsabilità su quanto venga fatto soprattutto da mani inesperte.
ATTENZIONE - Questa modifica sovrascrive qualsiasi file che abbia nome uguale al layer che viene selezionato più l’estensione del file naturalmente.
Comunque la modifica è banalissima e a portata di chiunque.
Procedere così:
- Chiudere Photoshop
- Aprire (nel percorso specificato dall’immagine) il file “Export Layers to Files.jsx” (Export Layers To Files.jsx 1.0.0.16) con un editor di testo puro.
- cercare la stringa (dovrebbe essere in riga 1029)
var fileNameBody = fileNamePrefix;
fileNameBody += "_" + zeroSuppress(i, 4);
fileNameBody += "_" + layerName;
- sostituirla con:
var fileNameBody = fileNamePrefix;
fileNameBody += layerName;
- cercare la stringa (dovrebbe essere in riga 1047-46)
var fileNameBody = fileNamePrefix;
fileNameBody += "_" + zeroSuppress(i, 4) + "s";
- sostituirla con:
var fileNameBody = fileNamePrefix;
fileNameBody += "";
- salvare e uscire.
- riavviare Photoshop
- provare l’azione registrata facendo attenzione che il nome del layer non sia identico al nome di un file già presente altrimenti questo verrà sovrascritto.
Domanda:
Perché ho creato livelli che poi ho eliminato ecc.
Risposta:
Semplice per evitare errori di esecuzione delle azioni nel caso di operazioni con livelli mancanti o altro.
Semplice... no?
English version
Mac version, but I think it's the same for Windows.
First of all, I'm translating the actions that I made using the Italian version of Photoshop, you look at the position of the menu that I have chosen to do the work with other languages.
I explain step by step what I did:
- I created a sample file with three layers, saved to the desktop and I closed the file.
- I opened the file and select the layer at the center to start recording an action that I called: Save with Name of the Selected Layer
- New action
- Give the name and press Save ( I think it is so in English )
Now save ...
- Menu -> Layer - > New —> Layer… and press -ok- , (leave the name that is shown)
- Once again Menu -> Layer - > New —> Layer… and press -ok- , (leave the name that is shown)
- Menu -> Layer - > Arrange (order) -> Behind
- Menu -> Layer - > Merge Down
- Menu -> Layer - > Merge Visible
- Menu -> Layer - > New —> Layer… and press -ok- , (leave the name that is shown)
- Menu -> Layer - Hide Layer
- Menu - > Delete - > Delete hidden layers (press -Yes- )
- Menu -> Layer - > New —> Layer… Enter this: ' Move this to the trash ' and press ok
- Menu -> File - > Scripts -> Export Layers To Files... (In the window that opens select the option you want, but take away the name prefix) and press - Run -
- Select the History panel and click Delete (on menu opened) pressing -Yes- every time when open the dialog box (8 times Repeat this step until you get into the story to the starting condition. Not use Restore -F12-).
- Stop recording.
At this point, by executing this action, I have reached the goal partly because the files created in this way remain, unfortunately, the numerical prefixes to avoid possibly overwriting of files (I think without notice) in the place where they are created.
To achieve the goal we need a new step and thinking about this as follows:
WARNING - The operation described below should be made on a copy of the file, so :
- Duplicate the file
- Move the original folder to another
- Work on the duplicate file.
WARNING - This modification is performed at your own risk and the undersigned assumes no responsibility on what is done mostly by inexperienced hands.
WARNING - This change will overwrite any files with the same name as the selected layer plus the file extension of course.
However, the change is trivial and within reach of anyone.
Proceed as follows:
- Close Photoshop
- Open (in the specified path from the image ) file " Export Layers to Files.jsx " (Export Layers To Files.jsx 1.0.0.16) with a pure text editor.
- Search for the string (should be in line 1029 )
var = fileNameBody fileNamePrefix ;
fileNameBody = + "_" + zeroSuppress (i, 4 ) ;
fileNameBody + = "_ " + layerName ;
- Replace it with :
var = fileNameBody fileNamePrefix ;
fileNameBody + = layerName ;
- Search for the string (should be in line 1047-46 )
var = fileNameBody fileNamePrefix ;
fileNameBody + = "_ " + zeroSuppress (i, 4) + "s" ;
- Replace it with :
var = fileNameBody fileNamePrefix ;
fileNameBody + = "";
- Save and exit.
- Restart Photoshop
- Try the recorded Action, making sure that the layer name is not identical to the name of an existing file otherwise it will be overwritten.
Question:
Why I created levels which I then deleted etc..
Answer:
Simple to avoid errors of execution of the actions in the case of transactions with missing levels and other.
Simple ... is not it?
Sorry for my bad English...
Thanks in advance for any hint.

Save NI report generator files with new names

I was trying to save labview library files under new names so that I could adapt the code but the 'Save As' option is greyed out. In certain cases, when I try to copy and paste the code, I get broken wires and cannot get the VI's to work.
I have been using the report generator toolkit which is quite limited. I was trying to delete a row from an spreasheet but there is no function to do this. So, one workaround that was suggested to me was to use the 'Excel Insert Cells' VI and change the code to instruct it to 'clear' cells rather than 'insert' them. This works, but I wanted to save a copy of the amended file under a different name so that it was independent of the installed library files but I can't seem to do this. I tried to copy out the code but got broken wires even though I have been able to do this in other instances.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Will

Hi Will,
I had the same problem with a project and found the following workaround:
To ensure the original function of any library VI, it's not recommended to just change the VI to do something else.
Therefore I expanded the VI to do both, the original functionality and the special function I needed.
I made an extra Input to the VI, which is a boolean Input.
With that extra optional Input I can now choose the function I want to do.
I made the "False" case to be default. This case works like the original function.
The "True" case is built to do my special function.
This workaround is quite easy and not dangerous. For all projects, which would use the function in their normal use case it's working just as if the file was unchanged.
And for projects using special functionality I can add a "True" constant to my VI Input and the function works as I want..
Hope this workaround helps to fix your problem!
Kind regards

Can/How do you save excel files to the cloud?

How, if at all, can you save excel files to icloud?

I think you need to upgrade your MacOS. Mine is running MacOS X 10.8.4.
I am running Numbers '09 v2.3.
Need to sign on to iCloud under Mac Preference Settings.
When I start Numbers, I can view files stored on iCloud, or locally on the Mac harddisk.
Hope it helps.

Batch processing: save processed file with same name to different location without moving the original

Hi, I would like to denoise Voice Over files with help of Auditions Batch Process. However, I have to save the files with the same name as the original, so that I can simply relink them in Premiere. Since I do want to keep the originals, I would like to save the processed files to a different location.
Unfortunately, Batch Processor adds " Copy" to the processed files and moves the originals along with the processed files to the new folder (causing Premiere to loose the original files).
Can I achieve my goal with Batch Processor, and how would I have to configure it?
Kind regards,
Andreas

Which version of Audition are you using? The latest ones allow you to specify where the batched files are saved and also if any Prefix or Postfix are added to the file name. These are all under Export Settings in the Batch Process pane. However you must have the Export box ticked to give you access to the settings.

How to check-in multiple files with same name having different revision num

Hi
Can anyone please tell me, how to check-in multiple files with the same name with different revision number using RIDC API.
For eg:
First I will check-in a file(TestFile.txt) into a content server with revision number 1 using RIDC API in ADF application. Then after some time, will modify the same file(TestFile.txt) and check-in again. I tried to check-in same file multiple times, however first time its checking-in correctly into server showing revision as 1, while checking-in same file again, its not giving any errror message, and also its not reflecting in server. Only one file(TestFile.txt) is reflecting in server.
How to implement this functinality using RIDC API? Any suggestions would be helpful.
Regards
Raj
Edited by: 887680 on Mar 6, 2013 10:48 AM

Hi Srinath
Thanks for your response. Its not cloning, its like check-in file first, then check-out the file and do some editing and then again upload the same file with different revision number using RIDC. I got the solution now.

How to save PDF file with predefined name?

Hi,
I am new in LiveCycle Designer. I have a requirement to save a PDF file with predefined file name. When user clicks a "Save as PDF" button, the fillable form is saved with the name from the form fields (e.g. FormID_UserID_Timesstamp...)
I added a button (btnSavePDF) to the form (Control Type=Regular). Then I added an action with the Condition:"When button is clicked" and the Result: "Save the form". I got the JavaScripts it genreated:
CoverPageForm.FormPage.btnSavePDF::click - (JavaScript, client)
app.execMenuItem("SaveAs");
When I tested it in Adobe Acorbat XI, I have option to save it as .pdf or other file formats. My questions is how can I save it with the predefined file name as a .pdf file, instead user has option to change the file name or change the file format? Can app.execMemuItem() method take other parameters?
Thanks
Sam

You can't do it with app.execMenuItem. You can use the doc.saveAs method, but it has to be executed in a privileged context. For your application this means a folder-level JavaScript file that would have to be installed on each user's machine or with code in a certified PDF that the users chooses to trust to allow for privileged JavaScript execution.
More information on the saveAs JavaScript method: http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.88.524.html
and some sample code relevant to the folder-level JavaScript option: http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.88.168.html
All of the sample code shown is for a regular PDF, so you'll have to adjust slightly for using with an XFA.

How to read an excel file with unknown fields

Hi,
I am trying to import data from an Excel file through java.. [Netbeans as the IDE] I got this sample running code online [http://rgagnon.com/javadetails/java-0362.html] which was very helpful.. but i want to read from an excel file even if i dont know the fields in it.. Is this possible somehow?

Google "POI HSSF" and or "Andy Khan jxl"
Edit: If you insist on using the bridge, then take a look at the DatabaseMetaData class, or do a select * and look at the ResultSetMetaData class, although you are much better off not trying to use a Spreadsheet as a database, it isn't one, after all.

How do I save a file with SAVE AS rather than SAVE A VERSION?

I have entered data on a template file and wish to SAVE AS a named file. Pages gives me only one option "Save a Version" which saves the template file overwritten. What has happened to "SAVE AS"

Just discovered this "feature" myself and I'll also be filling in a feedback form to point out what an appalling idea this was. When I read that "Save As..." has been totally removed, can't even be activated as an option, I shook my head.
"Save As..." has been used in every program I can think of, cross-platform, for decades. It's as fundamental to the user experience as "Open File", "Close Window" or even "Save". It's like Apple deciding on a whim that a little cross is too boring for closing windows, let's make it a swirl instead - except users don't understand what it means.
My main problem (and maybe someone here can help me with a workaround) is that I often open an old file and tinker with it, then decide I'm making more changes than I thought etc. and it might be better to keep the original and "Save As..." to create a new document. From what I can see, if I hit "Duplicate" I'll end up with 2 files that have my recent changes. I'll then have to rename the new "Duplicate" file and go back and "Undo" all my recent changes in the original until I'm back to the start (or use "Revert"). Fail to see a way around this and it's such a fundamental problem that will literally hamper my use of Pages on a daily basis, that I'm seriously considering buying Word (what a horrible prospect!).
