Save as is in pages

how do I save a new document in pages. many times work from existing letter for format, change to suit new information and then want to save as something new. In MS Word one has the choice of Save or Save As (Save As preserves original document and gives you the opportunity to save the new one) - can not find away to do this with Pages??

re:
Hold down the option key when you select the File menu and you will see Save As…
Your suggestion did not work for Pages '09 (or Keynote) on my Mac. OS Lion.
When I hold down the option key and you select the File menu, I see "save a version" - NOT "save as".
In fact, "save a version"is present even if option keyis not held down.
I have used Macs since 1991 (so am a veteran of "save as" from System 7 to OS 10.4)) but am new to Intel Macs . As I understand it, "save a version" is very different for the historical "save as". Have never tried to learn how to use this.
I can succeed with "save as" for other applications (eg GraphicConverter) by using Cmd-Shift-S, which has worked forever and a day on.
Perhaps you can help me with another annoying change of OS behaviour from OS 10.4 to 10.7. See my post today on the thread given below.
I wish we could be saved from some badly thought out OS "improvements".
Remembering directory of last save
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4195110
I just joined the community todsay. The above thread is the only one I could find on the "Remembering directory" issue and the thread starter never got any response from a guru.
Can you help?

  • How can I "Save" more than 1 page at a time?

    Firefox 4.0.1. Safari 5.0.5. iMac OS10.6.7. Just started using Firefox. Can't figure out how to Save more than 1 page at a time. Tried to save 3pp article in NY Times, several times in several ways. No deal. Went back to Safari and did it easily. Probably because that's what I'm used to. How do you do it on Firefox? This is probably a dumb question, but please be kind. Any reply appreciated. I've spent a couple of hours trying to solve this myself.

    Some menu entries in the main menu bar are hidden if you use the mouse and only appear if you use the keyboard to open the menu (Bug 626825).
    You can see the difference if you use Alt+F to open the File menu or Alt+B to open the Bookmarks menu and compare that to what you see if you use the mouse to open the menu after you have made the menu bar visible by tapping Alt or by pressing F10.
    * "Bookmark All Tabs" (Shift+Ctrl+D) no longer shows in the Bookmarks menu unless you open the Bookmarks menu via the keyboard (Alt + B).
    * "Bookmark This Page" can be accessed via the right-click context menu of that browser page.
    * "Bookmark All Tabs" can be accessed via the right-click context menu of a tab on the tab bar.

  • How do I add "Save As" to the Pages drop down menu?

    How do I add "Save As" to the Pages drop down menu?

    It took me awhile but I found what I was looking for. This is posted at http://www.tuaw.com/2012/07/29/get-save-as-back-on-mountain-lions-file-menu-easi ly-and-without/
    Option 1. Terminal.app If you are comfortable using Terminal.app, you can add a different keyboard shortcut this with one simple line. First, quit all your apps except Finder and Terminal. Then paste this command (as one line) into Terminal.app (and press Return):
    1
    defaults write -globalDomain NSUserKeyEquivalents -dict-add 'Save As...' '@$S' 
    view rawdwrite-global-saveas.sh hosted with ❤ by GitHub
    That's it!
    Launch TextEdit and open the 'File' menu and you should see "Save As..." back in its rightful spot with its original Command + Shift + S shortcut, as shown in the image above.
    Aside: After you enter the 'defaults write' command, you will not see any confirmation that it was entered correctly. Terminal.app is a little terse sometimes. If you want to verify it from the command-line, enter this:
    defaults read -globalDomain NSUserKeyEquivalents
    and look for "Save As..." = "@$s"; in the output.
    Option 2. System Preferences.app If you would rather not use Terminal, it's still very easy to add the keyboard shortcut.
    Launch the System Preferences.app, then open the "Keyboard" preference pane.
    At the top you will see "Keyboard" and "Keyboard Shortcuts" – click "Keyboard Shortcuts" (labeled '1' below). Then in the list on the left side, click "Application Shortcuts" (labeled '2' below). Then click the "+" button (labeled '3' below):
    Once you press that "+" button, a small window will appear asking you to enter the title of the menu item and the keyboard shortcut that you want to use.
    Enter "Save As..." in the "Menu Title:" field, and then press the keyboard shortcut that you want to use. In the example below I pressed Command + Shift + S:
    Note: It used to be true that you had to enter an actual ellipsis (which you can get by pressing Option+ ; on a US-English keyboard). However, when I tested this in Mac OS X 10.8.2, it worked with three consecutive periods.
    Bonus Tip: Hide the "Duplicate" menu item.
    In my original article I suggested that you also enter a keyboard shortcut for "Duplicate" and while youcan do that if you wish, you do not need to do that.
    However, if you would like to hide the Duplicate menu item, you can do that. There are two steps: first, remap "Save As..." to Command + Shift + S (as shown above). Then the 'trick' is to remap "Duplicate" to Command + Shift + Option + S.
    What you will have done is swap the keyboard shortcuts for "Duplicate" and "Save As..." which means that OS X will make "Duplicate" the optional command. If you open the "File" menu and hold down "Option" the "Save As..." command will change to "Duplicate"
    (Thanks to TUAW reader 'rbascuas' for pointing this out in response to the original article!)
    Important Addendum: "Keep changes in original document"
    As we reported in August 2012, the "Save As..." command in early versions of 10.8 had an unexpected and likely unwanted side effect in Mountain Lion: it would save the changes in the new document (created by "Save As...") but would also save the changes to the original document.
    However, Apple realized that users might not want that behavior, so in Mac OS X 10.8.2 they added an option "Keep changes in original document" which you can see here:
    Option A: If you want to save the changes you've made in the document and then save the document with a different name, then make sure that the box is checked.
    Option B: If you want your original document to stay as it was when you last saved it and create a new document based on the modified content of that document, then make sure that box is not checked.
    If you do not see the 'Keep changes in original document' box, then the application is probablygoing to give you the "Option B" behavior, but if you are not sure, I would suggest choosing Cancel in the "Save" dialog, then copy and paste the contents of the document into a new file, and save the new file. I know that's several extra-and-less-convenient steps, but if you are worried about preserving the original document, better safe than sorry.
    You could also save the file, duplicate it in Finder, and rename the new instance. Open old file and revert to previous save using 'Versions'.
    Frankly,I wish that Apple had just left the "Save As..." command alone, but for some reason they didn't ask my opinion. That said, I'm glad that they brought it back in Mountain Lion. I would have paid $20 for that feature alone.
    Note: This article was re-written and republished on 2013–02–21. The original process still works, but I wanted to update it to reflect some additional information.

  • How to edit and save a document in Pages

    How do I edit and save a document in Pages with MacBook Air

    1) Do you want to edit a .doc(x) and then save it as a .doc(x) again? You'll need to be a bit more specific
    2) Pages is an analogy to MS Word, so editing would be just as simple as typing. Go to 'Help' in the menu bar in Pages and then select 'Pages Help' to enter How-to's and Tutorials from Apple on using Pages.

  • How do i save my document on pages so that i can open it on other computers

    How do I sav emy document on pages so that i can open it on other computers?

    Well, that was the short answer, then I rethought your question.
    Will the “other computers,” be Mac, or a mixture of Mac, Windows PC, and possibly Linux?
    What application on the other computers will be accessing the Pages content created on your MacBook Pro?
    Using the File export options I originally mentioned, you could save the files to iCloud. Then on the other computer, you use the web browser to sign into your iCloud account. When you click the iWork icon, the files that you saved from your MBP will be there. You can then right-click on the file you want and a download option exists.

    They already have your number and/or email address and maybe have sold it several times already to others as well. They also use number generators - software that will automatically create them - some work and some don't, they don't care, they send out millions and a few will fall for it and send them money. The only way to "hide" would be to change both and your password, but then it would happen again at some point.

  • I can not save my documents in Pages...

    I can not save my documents in Pages 09 4.0.5. "Save as" gives me the message "Can not save ´xxx´ Invalid agrument"
    The problem just occurred and does not seem to go away. What to do?

    It's very unlikely that the Pages program is corrupt. Corruption of the Pages preferences would be much more common & does not require reinstalling the program to fix. Go to HD > Users > (your account) > Library > Preferences, delete the com.apple.iwork.pages.plist, empty the Trash & then restart Pages.

  • Cannot save script generated web page

    I found that safari cannot save a script generated page by (File -> Save as). I've written a simple test page as follow:
    <html>
    <body>
    <script>
    function OpenPopUpWin()
    var generator=window.open('','save_win', 'width=645,height=600,resizable=yes,menubar=yes,toolbar=no,directories=no,locat ion=no,scrollbars=yes,status=yes');
    generator.document.write('testing');
    generator.document.close();
    </script>
    test (<-this link call the OpenPopUpWin() function)<br>
    </body>
    </html>
    Does anyone have similar problem before? Is it a bug in safari? Are there any workarounds if I want to save the page?

    I guess I'm still not understanding your problem. I took your original script, made the one change as mentioned in my earlier post, and it worked.
    It's quite likely/possible that Apple filter javascript embedded in posts - all sorts of nasty things could happen if they didn't, but you're not using Safaro to create your pages, are you?
    Just as an example, this seems to do what you describe - copy and paste it into a new text document and see what happens:
    <pre class=command><html>
    <body>
    <script>
    function OpenPopUpWin()
    var generator=window.open('','save_win', 'width=645,height=600,resizable=yes,menubar=yes,toolbar=no,directories=no,locat ion=no,scrollbars=yes,status=yes');
    generator.document.write('testing');
    generator.document.close();
    </script>
    <a href="#" OnClick="OpenPopUpWin()'>test</a> (<-this link call the OpenPopUpWin() function)
    </body>
    </html>
    </pre>

  • How can I save my document from pages to a flash drive?

    How can I save my document from pages to a flash drive?

    Locate the file on your Mac, plug in the USB stick (the mac should prompt you to open it, or do this automatically), click and drag the file from the computer (wherever it's saved to) to the USB folder. That's just putting an already saved file there.
    To save it TO your USB stick, find it in the Save To diolog on the sidebar. Click it, then save it there.

  • I have an iMac(mid2010) running Pages v5.5.1 on OS X 10.10. Why can I not save or share documents. The error message is You can't save the file "TEST.pages" because the volume is read only.

    I have an iMac(mid2010) running Pages v5.5.1 on OS X 10.10. Why can I not save or share documents. The error message is You can’t save the file “TEST.pages” because the volume is read only.
    I get the same message when using Numbers so I presume it is a OS problem

    Some of your user files (not system files) have incorrect permissions or are locked. This procedure will unlock those files and reset their ownership, permissions, and access controls to the default. If you've intentionally set special values for those attributes, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it, but you do need to follow the instructions below.
    Back up all data before proceeding.
    Step 1
    If you have more than one user, and the one in question is not an administrator, then go to Step 2.
    Enter the following command in the Terminal window in the same way as before (triple-click, copy, and paste):
    sudo find ~ $TMPDIR.. -exec chflags -h nouchg,nouappnd,noschg,nosappnd {} + -exec chown -h $UID {} + -exec chmod +rw {} + -exec chmod -h -N {} + -type d -exec chmod -h +x {} + 2>&-
    You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
    The command may take several minutes to run, depending on how many files you have. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear, then quit Terminal.
    Step 2 (optional)
    Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1, if you prefer not to take it, or if it doesn't solve the problem.
    Start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
              Utilities ▹ Terminal
    from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open. In that window, type this:
    res
    Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
    resetpassword
    Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
    Select your startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button
    Select
               ▹ Restart
    from the menu bar.

  • Why i don't have save as on my pages program

    I can not find save as on my pages program. . . .

    The Save As option was replaced with Duplicate in Lion. To get the Save As option to appear in Lion or Mt. Lion you need to hold the Option key and the Duplicate choice changes to Save As.

  • How can I have Safari save my opened web pages when I quit so that when I open next time they will be there?

    How can I have Safari save my opened web pages when I quit so that when I open next time they will be there? I can do that in Firefox automatically, but can't seem to find how to do it in Safari.  I'm thinking maybe it's just now possible yet?

    From your Safari menu bar click History / Reopen All Windows from Last Session.
    Or..
    Glims can  re open tabs from a previous session if that helps.
