In this example I’m using Apple’s word processing app Pages.

This is another case of having to Think Different to get the same task accomplished. Instead of the traditional Save-As selection in the file menu, click the Duplicate option.

Then you’ll see there are now two documents being shown. One is the original, the one on top is the copy that is labeled as such.

Now click Save on the duplicate document you just created.

Instead of just saving another Version, it will bring up the Save As field allowing you to type in the new title.

Now you’re able to save a new copy of a file with a new title on your local machine. Or store it on an external drive or network location. This only applies to apps that have been optimized for OS X Lion. Comment Name * Email *
