Hi. I am a reative newbie on Pages (although i have used macs for a longtime). I have the habit of clicking on the title of a Word document in order to reveal its location in the file where it is stored. I often do this to make a duplicate or to change the name when I want to start a new draft. I have not been able to figure out how to do this in Pages. Any help?

You click on the document name in the title bar of a Pages document and a panel opens displaying the file name and the Where: location.

Helpful or not, that is how Pages is designed. It is not a Word clone and will not support a great many features that you take for granted in Microsoft's application design. There is no Finder link from a Pages document name in the document title bar.
Yes,but that is not helpful but it is my fault because I wasn't clear. In MS Word not only do you see a display of the file name, you can go to the file where the document is stored (and the doument is highlighted). That is the type of command I am searching for
Looking carefully I can see that in some Pages document I can right click and be taken to the document's location. But this is not working in all Pages documents. I can only see the option to change the name of the document and location. Checking further I moved the document in question from a folder shown as Documents to the desktop and not the location is acessible. Can anybody tell me why this is so?
It just goes to show that habits are hard to change especailly when they have become automatic gestures or keypad commands as in this case. In fact it is working now that the document has been saved. I don't understand how the title of a document is shown when apparently the document has not been enregistered.
