Seems like I jumped through these same hoops with Mountain Lion before but here it is again.
I don't see a Save As option in Numbers 09, version 2.3
The only options I have are:
Save as Template
Save
Revert to Saved
Anyone figured out a work around for this.
Thanks
Mac Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)
In OS X Lion and Mountain Lion, Apple has hidden "Save As" feature. To use it, press File menu in Numbers, hold the Option (Alt) key and choose "Save As"
Hi Mend1, thanks for the reply.
I already tried that but the option to save as does not come up.
The only thing in the menu that changes when I push the option key is the Close becomes Close all.
JmDo,
Keep your eye on the File > Duplicate menu item as you toggle the Option/Alt key.

Thanks Jm, but I'm afraid there is no Duplicate option in the menu.
That tells me that you aren't actually using Mountain Lion.
Jerry
Yes I'm using Mountain Lion version 10.8.2
The only other guess I could make is that you have applied some third party tweak or Terminal command, neither of which I'm aware of, that altered the File menu.
Without pressing Option, you should see:
When you are pressing the Option/Alt key, you should see:

Don't know what could have happened, I just looked at my wife's computer and her Numbers File menu looks just like yours.
I never mess with Terminal so it's not that.
I guess I can try downloading iWork again from Apple and see what happens.
Thanks for all of your help and patience, Jerrold
Well I just completed downloading iWork again but it still doesn't have the full menu.
Don't know what else to try it's baffled me.
I don't actually think this is possible, but could you be downloading Numbers 2.3 in OSX 10.8.2, but actually also have an older, not updated version of Numbers which is the one that is running? Did you determine that you have Numbers 2.3 by Getting Info in the Finder, or by checking About Numbers from the Numbers menu of the running application?
Hi Jeff, I checked About Numbers and yes it is Numbers '09 version 2.3 (554) when I check About Nubers
When I check info. it's version 2.3 Created September 24, 2009
Since I'm still running version 2.1 on OS X 10.6.8, I don't have personal experience with the newer menus, but I think that Revert to Saved and the absence of Duplicate should indicate either a version earlier than 2.1 or a system before 10.7.x. However in either of those cases, Save as … should be there.
I assume when you say you are downloading Numbers 2.3 again, you mean from the App Store. I may have missed it when I read over the previous posts, but did you actually delete the old version before you did that? And install the new download?
I downloaded it from Apple > Support > Downloads.
I trashed the version I was originally running which was the latest version and then tried loading the one I had just downloaded.
It wouldn't load but came up with a message, not quite sure what it said now but something like Keynote ****** missing.
So I took the one I had just trashed back out of the trash and put it into Applications again and then loaded the one I had just downloaded.
It loaded ok once I did that.
I just now went back to Apple downloads and checked on the newest version of iWorks and there was a version 9.3 so I downloaded that one and it loaded succesfully.
Still got the same results with the menu however.
Once it's loaded I can't seem to find a way to see what version I have of iWorks.
Tried the usual methods getting info and About etc. but it only shows '09 but no numbers after it.
Okay, things are slowly getting a little clearer. The only things you can download from Support are updaters, not complete applications. So I think I was mistaken when I thought you had reinstalled the applications.
I think that might be a good idea. Did you originally get iWork on a DVD? And do you still have it?
As far as I can remember I must have got it with the DVD but I've had this computer since 2009 so I'm going to have to do some digging to find it.
If it doesn't turn up I guess I can contact Apple see if I can reload it.
Thanks for all of your help Jeff I appreciate your time.
