Saving A Document

It’s a good idea to save your document often as you work. After you save your
document for the first time, you can press Command-S to resave as you edit your
document.

If you’re running Mac OS X v10.7 (Lion) or later, Pages auto-saves your document
frequently while you work, so that you don’t have to worry about losing changes you
made to your document if the application closes unexpectedly. But when you press
Command-S, a “snapshot” of the document’s current state is archived. You can return to
this archived version of the document if you want to restore an image, setting, or text
that you used previously and have since changed or deleted.

To save a document for the first time:

1

Choose File > Save, or press Command-S.

2

In the Save As field, type a name for the document.

3

Choose the folder where you want to save the document from the Where pop-up menu.

If the location you want isn’t visible in the Where pop-up menu, click the disclosure
triangle to the right of the Save As field, and then navigate to the location you want to
save the document.
If you don’t see the Where pop-up menu, navigate to the location where you want to
save the document.

4

If you want the document to be opened using Pages in iWork ’08, select “Save copy as,”

and then choose iWork ’08 from the pop-up menu. Or if you want the document to be
opened using Microsoft Word, select “Save copy as,” and then choose Word Document
from the pop-up menu.
If the document you want to save as a previous iWork version is password-protected,
its password protection is removed.

5

If you want the document to display a Quick Look in the Finder in Mac OS X v10.5 or

later, select “Include preview in document.”

If you or someone else will open the document on another computer, click Advanced
