Saving a document hasn't changed except that each time you use the Save option Lion will save the current document as a different version of the same document.
However, there is no Save As option with Lion. To Save As you first select the option to Duplicate the document. Then Save the duplicate. Since it's a new document you will be prompted for a new file name, if you wish, as well as the opportunity to change the location where the document will be saved. If you do not change the name of the document, then you will get an alert that an there is an existing document with the same name.

THANK YOU! SEEMS THEY MADE IT MORE COMPLICATED...
Only a little.
BTW, please use mixed case when you type. All CAPS means you are shouting, and it's also more difficult to read. 🙂
The OP should consider himself lucky. Generally messages in CAPs are ignored.

By whom, Allan?
Me
All CAPs causes too much eye strain for me so I generally ignore them.
Allan
Ahh, I see. You must have "old eyes." I got lens transplants this past year so I see much better than I used to. I highly recommend the procedure if you are eligible.
72 years old. I am not there yet.
They hate all CAPs.

I will be 70 next March, but my cataracts were getting pretty well developed. The opthomologist approved the surgery which was fully covered by Medicare. They also covered part of the cost for new lens prescriptions. Find a friendly doctor. The surgery is worth every penny!
I have a great doctor. A cataract is starting to developing in my left eye but so far I am suffer no symptoms from it at all yet. He says that is will take some time before it is ready.

Is that C-25 Eckert?
It's worth remembering that this new method of saving files applies only to Apple software (and possibly others but I have not encountered them). Microsoft Office 2011 for Mac has the old method with Save As, also Photoshop, InDesign, REAL Studio, Final Cut, and even Safari... 🙂. No doubt MS Office will get around to changing to the new system.😢
I have stopped using TextEdit and Preview.
Oh... come on now guys! I was just in another thread where someone was talking about an album that came out 20 years ago that seemed like just yesterday to me. Over the past few months my eyes have decided that they are going to refuse to read anything closer than maybe a foot in front of me... that's not to mention the increasing gray hair and thining. For the first time last week, I was at my barber and he decided to trim the ear hair that I didn't know I had! I think I'm going through more changes now at 44 than I did at puberty!
Yep, they don't usually want to do anything until the cataract starts to impair your vision. Different rates of development for different people. I can tell you from my recent experience that the difference is dramatic if you had bad eyesight to start with. Without glasses my vision was well beyond legally blind, and now I sit in front of the computer screen without any glasses. I only need them for distance vision - I was severely nearsighted.
You're a youngster, kiddo. Wait another ten years or so when your memory starts going. Another ten years after that you start going through reverse puberty. Greta Garbo was right - growing old is not for the faint of heart. 😁
