Renaming a document in Pages under Lion

There's a couple of features in Pages under Lion that I can't figure out and don't like. I do up invoices for my husband's business. Instead of starting a whole new invoice, I like to grab an old one and plug in the new information. I used to simply Save As and retype a new name in which would keep the old version and give me a new invoice.
Now - no clue how to replicate this action. There's no Save As feature. Only duplicate which I can't figure out and Save a Version which seems to do nothing that I'm aware of.
Anyone have any ideas on this?

This thread on Pages has almost helped me - thanks.
(I'm using Pages v.4.1 with OS X v10.7.4 on my MacBook.)
I see many posts that say: "...JUST use ⌘ S or Fle > Save…" to give the second instance of the document it's next - new name.
My fingers follow the instructions but the screen NEVER displays, "the familiar save dialog" box.
I would prefer to not use Text Editor or learn a new product like MS Word.
Any suggestions would be helpful.

Will Pages under Lion be able to open old AppleWorks documents in the way that it does under Snow Leopard?

I've just read a thread that suggested that Pages will be able to open AppleWorks documents under Lion, is this correct?
I understood from discussions last month that one had to convert all old AppleWorks documents to Pages or Word or some other format BEFORE upgrading to Lion as Pages would not be able to read them afterwards.
I wanted to pass on a tip that if you have used the AppleWorks password protect on your files, you will not be able to open them in Pages, so you need to open them in AppleWorks first, and take the password off, or save them as a file which is not protected, or some similar work around.

The Apple Support Community (us) just calmed me right down! Hi everyone. I just down loaded Lion through the Apple Apps Store and blindly went ahead and installed it, putting my mental well being in Apple's hands, having trusted Apple since my first Apple II (1974?). But ... "What do you mean, Appleworks isn't supported?" In a bit of a panic, wondering what was to happen to my vast (really) stock of AW documents I came to Apple Support for help. Thanks to the input from Sue, Cornelius, Jonanna and others I took the leap and, clicking on the "OpenApple"-I, accessed the "Open With" switching the AW document to open with Pages. In a word, perfect. And, it looks like Lion has already told itself to open all AW (remember Claris?) documents with Pages. CM
( Except I just spotted a thread titled "AppleWorks doc won't open in Pages" ... Going there next. )

How do I rename a document in Pages please?

Hi all,
I have created a document in Pages and given it a name before closing it.
I now wish to rename the document, any suggestions please?

Hi,
Thank you for your quick responce, I have tried as you have suggested and failed.
I have spent hours over the past few days trying to overcome this problem without success, everytime I right click the original filename it opens the file. I've tried it using a mouse and the pad on my MacBook Pro. I also have the same problem on my IMac.

Safari sometimes won't launch home page under Lion

I installed Lion a few days ago, and the Safari started to behave in an erratic way. When launched, it sometimes opens the home page that I've set in preferences, but sometimes it opens the page that I was reading just before I quitted Safari last time. This is very inconvenient. What can I do to make sure that Safari always opens the home page when I launch it? Thanks to all who can help!

I installed Lion this past weekend and am having the same issue. I see that no one has rendered any suggestions or helpful tips to correct the problem, which makes me wonder if its just a few customers have this problem or what. But I agree its annoying as can be.
Anyone have any ideas how to fix this? I have set and reset my homepage preferences many many time with no luck. Help!

Pages 4.1 slow under Lion

My wife has a newish 27" iMac, loads of memory, just updated to Lion and Pages 4.1. She dragged me into her office to show how slow Pages 4.1 is while typing in a document that has graphics, about 1/2 second to render each character. Same behavior with the previous version of Pages under Lion, but never an issue under Snow Leopard. Not a problem with a text-only document.
Known issue? Any thoughts about a workaround?

It's not Lion which isn't optimized.
Pages which was already a snail just received a quick and dirty update to accomodate the Lion features and of course this kind of addition never enhace performances.

I cannot find the "save as" under Lion.

I frequesntly reuse documents I have created and change sections. I want to save the changed document in a new folde. I used to go to "Save as" and change the document name and location. This is the procedure described in the pags help section. Using pages under Lion I cannot find a save as command. If I try save a version, I do not have the option to change the location. I can save as a template and put it anywhere I want and rename it, but I that is an ackward solution. How do find and install the "save as" command

Apple engineers failed to update the help but they updated the User Guides.
Since the Lion delivery there are numerous threads upon the Save As… removal.
Every asker is supposed to search in existing threads before creating a new one.
Searching for the keyword Save As was the logical behavior.

¿ What I must do , please?

If you want to use documents created by the iOS 7 version of Pages, with Pages on your Mac, then you must upgrade your Mac to OS X Mavericks and update Pages to the newest version that only runs on Mavericks.
The only alternative would be if Pages for iOS 7 allows you to export the document for Pages for Lion.

Saving my documents in pages and keynote with OS X Mountain Lion

Ever since I upgraded to OSX Mountain Lion, I'm having a terrible time saving my documents in pages and keynote. I miss "save as" and can't stand the "rename" and "move to" replacements. Is there a tutorial to help me? or can I put "save as" back in menu? Has anyone else been struggling with this?

Sure. At midnight, you have to draw a sacred circle, light 11 candles, say the incantation, hold down the option key, and choose "save as".

HT204394 how to rename a document created with iwork pages

how do one rename a document created with iwork pages?

So the "Rename" command is not supposed to work? It is a dead link and crashes Pages.
Where did Pages save the file that I wanted to put into the folder of related documents. Please bring back "save as" or ask where we want the file saved. How else can I find it later?

I have downloaded Mountain Lion, now when I try to open a document in Pages, it says I need an updated version.

I downloaded Mountain Lion this morning. Now when I try to open a document in Pages, it says I need a newer version. When I go to the App Store, it says I have Pages installed.

What version of Pages are you running now?
The newest update is 4.2 at least for the box set version I have which came out a couple of days ago.

Will Lion open Appleworks documents with Pages or Numbers as Snow Leopard does?

Will Lion open Appleworks documents with Pages or Numbers like Snow Leopard does? Or do I have to convert all my Appleworks files before installing Lion?

Functionality of Pages and Numbers has little to do with whether it's runnong on Snow Leopard or Lion. Either way, if they open an AppleWorks document in SL, they'll open it in Lion. Of course, you have to understand that certain file types - particularly, AppleWorks databases - cannot be opened with anything other than AppleWorks, so you'll need to convert them with AppleWorks before upgrading to Lion.

Recent update OS10.5 to 10.6 to Lion. Using Pages (4.1) only some documents won't open. At Genius bar loaded new copy Pages; reloaded Lion clean install. Still won't open although will on another computer. What now?

Pages question: recent update OS10.5 to 10.6 to Lion. Using Pages (4.1) only some documents intermittently
won't open. At Genius bar loaded new copy Pages; reloaded Lion clean install. Still won't open although will on another computer. On the other Mac (running Lion), saved a copy of a document with a new name and sent it back to first computer. At first it would open, but now it as well as multiple other Pages documents won't open. What now?

yes;
I got Pages to work now- there were two versions, one Universal, and one Intel- by moving the Universal to trash ( although I can't delete it) and moving Intel version to iWorks folder in Applications, it is now working. Doesn't explain why it didn't work though- the other MacBook pro 17 inch that could open all the Pages documents also has two copies of Pages as I see now....
I still however can't open Numbers documents on the MacBook pro 15 inch.... it is a Universal version of Numbers.

I would like to design a poster, when I place my photos on the page under the "links" "colour space" section it says the colour space is RGB not CMYK even though my document is set up as CMYK. Can/do i need to change this? i am worried it will be a pro

Yes, it will be a problem. Convert the images in Photoshop using the printer's color profiles or a standard CMYK profile.
