Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
I'm putting this here because I don't know how else to register my displeasure with the "Duplicate" "feature" that made my life more difficult since I upgraded to Lion.
Please, Apple, put a "Save As" option underneath "Save a Version." It's ridiculous that "Save As" was taken out...no good reason for that.
Mac OS X (10.7.3)
Well, not in my case... there is no "save as" option and I'm running Pages 5.0 on OSX Mavericks on a MacBook Pro
If you will actually open a document and type something (so the system knows something needs to be saved), it will show up. Mine does not show up in the opening page/template chooser either.
not in my case...
Well, then I have to admit that I have no idea why it would not show for you.
If you are on Mountain Lion, then you have to hit the Option key while going to the File menu and the Duplicate will change to Save As. On Mavericks it was reinstated and yours is the first time I've heard of it not showing.
In fact, I just tried the option key and 'duplicate' changes to 'save as' and I can use the function. The weird thing is that I am no longer on Mountain Lion, I am now on Mavericks since Thursday. At least, the function comes back with the Option key help, but it doesn't look like I had reinstated on Maverics, like you have... really hard to understand. Anyway, thanks a lot for your help.
Glad to hear it is working and I have no explanation for this anomaly.
I used to click in the Title bar (in Preview) to initiate Save As which was very convenient:
click in the Title bar,
in the file list that appears, click on an existing file whose name is similar to the one I want to use,
make a small edit to the filename,
save.
that's gone in Mavericks... at least, it's no longer accessible via the Title bar.
so, thank you for the Option-key tip. it works; not as convenient as clicking the Title bar but it'll do.
cheers.
I installed 10.9 and "text edit" has no save as either.

Hold down the Option key.
Neat thanks!
The shortcut for Save As in KeyNote is Shift+Command+Option+S. Press & hold those buttons in order and you can now Save As!😁
What the **** is with hiding everything helpful using the Option key?
ok so Save As is back, but why hide it?
Hi Pack,
All you have to do is press the Option key when you go to the File menu, and Save As.. will magically appear!
Or Command-Option-Shift-S.
All you can say about why the programmers did this, was that they probably felt it was more useful for people to have their original document available and open after they would change the name. I too find it very difficult to get used to.
I want my "save as" back!
