How to do a SAVE AS in Numbers in the new iworks version 2.1

I've also just upgraded to Numbers 2.1 and the Save As option is there on the File menu. This is Snow Leopard 10.6.8

I guess that you installed also Lion.

If I am right, search in the today's threads.

This question was extensively discussed and answered.

To be short, Duplicate

then cmd + S (if my memory is OK)

To be the AW6 successor, iWork MUST integrate a TRUE DB, not a list organizer !

Yvan,

I can confirm that your memory is ok.

They removed the Save item because they were tired to read dumb messages like "My battery died after four hours of work on an important document which I never saved. How may I retrieve my work?"

I assume that the complicated code doing the needed job require some extraneous tasks before giving hand to the user for Save As….

Remember that it's not a dumb autosave as the one done by my script or by ForeverSave.

It's monitoring every changes without erasing precedent state. It's a kind of 'infinite' undo feature. It's even more powerful than undo because it allow us to replace a paragraph typed on 2011/07/22 15h 25m by one saved on 2011/07/20 21h 35m leaving untouched what was typed between these two date_times.

You're assuming:

1) That we trust the new versions feature.

2) That we don't need to keep static standalone versions of documents.

3) That we don't create new documents from old ones.

Duplicating in finder isn't an acceptable option - it requires multiple extra steps, and breaks more than 25 years of UI standards.

One more thing - the duplicate/save ... function in the menu doesn't save the new document in the same location as the old. That's a major pain.

Major fail to Apple on this one.

I second your comments.

"Duplicating in finder isn't an acceptable option - it requires multiple extra steps, and breaks more than 25 years of UI standards.

"Major fail to Apple on this one."

"I second your comments."

These are comments that should be going to Apple (along with the rest of lhotka's post from which the first two are taken).

Numbers menu (in Numbers) > Provide Numbers Feedback.

or on the web: http://www.apple.com/feedback/numbers.html

I already posted the info several times.

The menu item Save is now Save…

which means that it open always the good old dialog.

The truth is that it's not the Save As… feature which is gone.

It's the Save one.

Trigger the menu Save… do what was achieved thru Save As…

With all due respect, I tried Save Version which is the only option in the menu. What if I am saving my files for other computers and I also save for my IPAD but I want my file to contain a specific name. I need a list organiser as well as a True DB. I want to have "my" control over my generation backup. Why do I have to work "around" a new design? Not all my work is on my desktop.

Agreed. Tried that earlier. The support email is either busy or not redirecting properly.

When you trigger the menu item Save…

you get the old Save As… dialog wich allow you to :

change the file name

change the destination folder

export as .xls

export as Numbers '08 document

If you do the same in Pages, the dialog allow you to :

change the file name

change the destination folder

export as .doc

export as Pages '08 document

Of course, in both case you must click the black triangle enabling the complete dialog as it always did.

Black triangle next to file name doesn't include such an option. Save click doesn't open to a Save As option.

Sorry!
