Hi Donna,

I ponder this quite a lot and actually got some help from Accessibility at 
Apple.
I'm not sure, but check the files menu or dialog for "Save a copy". What I've 
been doing, when I can anticipate the need, is, while viewing the file from 
Finder, simply command c, command v to make a safe copy right there.

Frankly, I am quite used to the prior way of doing things and would like to 
have that back and the ability to abandon edits if I fear having messed up too 
badly.

As for seeing those other versions, I regret not being able to help there.

Clear, concise input from anyone having knowledge of these matters is most 
welcome.

Hth, 
John s

  Subject: Is there really not a Save As option in Text Edit?


  Hi all,

  I have a situation wherein I use a certain file in different situations.  I 
would like the option to open the basic file, modify the content, and save it 
with a different filename.  This used to be possible, but the only option I see 
now for saving documents is Save a Version, which uses the original filename.  
Does anyone know if there's some way to open a Save As dialog in Text Edit?

  On a related note, does anyone know if there's a way to view older versions 
of a file, i.e. could I open a version of this file before the last time I 
saved a version?
  TIA,
  Donna
