Saving a Copy of a Spreadsheet
If you want to duplicate your open spreadsheet, you can save it using a different name
or location.
To save a copy of a spreadsheet in Mac OS X v10.7 (Lion) or later:
1
Choose File > Duplicate.
An untitled copy of the spreadsheet is created. Both copies remain open on your
desktop for you to view or edit.
2
Close the window of the untitled copy, type the spreadsheet’s name, and then choose
a location from the pop-up menu.
3
Click Save.
To save a copy of a spreadsheet in Mac OS X v10.6.x (Snow Leopard) or earlier:
Choose File > Save As and specify a name and location.
m
The spreadsheet with the new name remains open. To work with the previous version,
choose File > Open Recent and choose the previous version from the submenu.
You can also automate creating a backup version of the spreadsheet every time you
save, retaining the name and location of the original, but with the words “Backup of”
preceding the filename. See “Automatically Saving a Backup Version” on page 35.
