Yes there is, it's called save… ellipses means a dialog, the first thing it

document in the do you wish to save dialog that comes up, you can title it and

No, as we've already discussed, that only happens if you've never saved a
document before. If you've already saved it, the document is saved with its
current name in its current place automatically, that is, no dialog opens up.

Hi Donna,
You might want to investigate into Apple Script. This can modify default
behaviours for applications. You can introduce your own save as. This is a work
around I know.
But even better. You could create a template using apple script. activate the
script fill in the bits you want.
Hi Sean,
Thanks for the suggestion. I've actually been wanting to learn to use Apple
Script for a long time, but I just never seem to have time. Can you suggest
any tutorials or podcast on learning to use it?

I'd love answers to this question as well. I had a document where I somehow

out how to do that. Fortunately, the good

Hi,
all you have to do is press command S. There is really no mystery to this.
Also, if you press command w to close the window, you will be presented with
the save as dialog if you haven't already saved the document.

One correction, Ricardo. Command S saves a version. It does not give you a
Save As Dialog. And, the document I'm talking about has already been saved, so
I can't get to a Save As dialog by just closing the window.

There is no save as in Lion. This has to do with the version history
feature. If you are working off a template or such, duplicate the document
from the file menu and then do a command-s to save it with a new name.

Maybe, but, I can tell you how to look at older versions. Here's how you pull

1. Go in to the document.

Thank you for this information. It's helpful, but is beyond tedius. I wouldn't

Remember that Lion is moving to an iOS kind of interface. The resume
feature in Lion is another example of this. So, with documents, they are
automatically edited as you work on them, so there is no need to manually save
them.

I see your point in regards to save as. I personally find no longer having to

I ponder this quite a lot and actually got some help from Accessibility at

Finder, simply command c, command v to make a safe

Unless, you're working on a template. The document in question is a service

Hi John,
I think what perplexes me is that I see absolutely no reason why Apple moving
to an approach where you don't need to save files precludes keeping the Save As
option. I agree with Ricardo that it's nice not to have to be always pressing

Well, Duplicate kind of does the same thing with, perhaps, an extra step.
Also, you can use the, Revert, dialog, to access the document history. Like
