SnitAgain, no answer. Just face it. Apple screwed up an put in differently named menu items that do the same thing.

So "duplicate" makes a duplicate but doesn't delete the original, and "save as" creates a copy and doesn't delete the original; but "duplicate" and "save as" "do different things." Granny is confused.
First, with no sarcasm or insult, I commend you for admitting to an area of computing you are ignorant about. All too often in COLA people see that as a weakness and refuse to do so. You have little experience with such systems... and even if you did you still might not know.
But before we get to the differences, I want to make sure you realize that we are now talking about multiple features here:
* Renaming a file (which can be done open or not) * Moving a file (which can be done open or not) * Labeling a file (which can be done open or not) * Duplicating a file (which can be done open or not) * Saving a file (which can only be done if open) * Saving as a new file (which can only be done if open)
What is the difference between "duplicating" an open file and "save as"?
Again, happy to answer but first want to make sure you are clear of the basics: NEITHER is the same as moving, renaming, or labeling of a file. That is what we were discussing before you moved the topic to Duplicating vs. Save / Save As.
