Want to resave a document monthly in order to make small change each month but save the previous ones (monthly billing). Is there any way? If not, will Apple issue me a refund so that I can buy Microsoft again? This is a huge billing problem for me!
iMac, Mac OS X (10.7.3)
Hold down the option key as you select Save in the File menu, or command shift s
This will make a duplicate of the file as it currently is.
If you have already made changes to the file but don't want them in the original, select the original file and go:
Menu > File > Revert to > Last Saved
Apple changed this when it set up Auto-Save by default.
IMHO it is very bad User Interface as it is concealed, and expects Users to behave in anticipation which is always bad practice. People do not work that way, they do what is on their mind then save. Further Apple's tiny percentage of users have to learn to behave differently than everyone else and adapt their behaviour according to not just whether they are on MacOS but according to what version of MacOS, subsequently making far more mistakes.
Unfortunately Apple's UI skills and common sense have plummeted on the Mac in recent years, an indication of a change of leadership who seem to want to make their own stamp on the Mac despite they are not quite up to it.
Apple seems determined to kill productivity and whatever work is still being done on Macs, reducing it to a playpen with padded walls, in which they constantly move the furniture for their own amusement.
