"Save As..." missing from Pages

No, you don't have to duplicate then save, entering a new name, as long as you are using Mountain Lion. It has been mentioned more than once in this thread alone. Hold down the Option/alt key while clicking the File menu & you will see Save As… & its keyboard shortcut, ⌘ ⌥ ⇧ S.

Be aware that autosave will save any changes to the original document if you haven't checked the option to ask to save changes in System Preferences > General.

Be aware that "Save As..." is, in reality, a bug described as a feature.

Saving a fork of a file via the current 'save as' results in not only both forks of the file saving as the edited version but also the version open for edting calls itself by the old name. If you leave it open and attempt to open the newly created fork, the original version jumps to focus.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Apple have breached a long standing understanding with their users in getting into this 'trouble' in the first place. I am an Apple user since the 1970s and a mac user since 1986. I don't like it when 'stuff' like this happens.

Who does? The measure of Apple is, do they care?

The only solution I have found to this problem, is to use Microsoft Word for my documents now.

Word was only ever there as a backup, and to check compatability of .doc files when saving them for uni etc.

Jeez Apple, what are you doing when you're sending Mac fans back to MS?
