Description: In previous versions of Writer, before the tabbed menu was standard, there was a selection under the File menu for Save a Copy. This seems to have disappeared in recent times. I would like to request an enhancement for its return. Here's why: Save a Copy is an incredibly useful feature when submitting manuscripts to publishers. Many times publishers will ask for submissions in RTF or DOCX format. Save a Copy allows me to keep my original document in ODF and just generate RTFs as needed. The alternative of using Save As will change the format in the current window. I then run the risk of making changes in a format that I do not want to keep as my original document. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open a new Writer Document 2. Click the File tab 3. Notice that Save a Copy is missing and cry Actual Results: Save a Copy is missing from the selections. Expected Results: Save a Copy would be available to select. Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: This feature was available in previous versions, before the tabbed menu.
I can't repro Version: 6.2.7.1 (x64) Build ID: 23edc44b61b830b7d749943e020e96f5a7df63bf CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0; UI render: GL; VCL: win; Locale: es-ES (es_ES); UI-Language: en-US Calc: threaded Maybe it was deleted inadvertently in Menu/Tools/Customize/Menu Test with Menu/Help/Restart in Safe Mode.
Thanks for looking into this. I have restarted in safe mode as suggested. When I do this, the old-style menu appears to be the default, and the Save a Copy option is present under the File menu. To reproduce my missing Save a Copy, switch to the tabbed menu with View > User Interface > Tabbed. Now click the File tab and you will see that the Save a Copy is nowhere to be seen.

I confirm, that "Save a Copy" is missing in tabbed notebookbar (as icon and also in File menu. I expect it at least in the file menu.

will add it and as we get customization support, it will be available also as hidden command.
Thanks guys. I look forward to Save A Copy's triumphant return. LibreOffice is a wonderful product and your dedication to it is appreciated.
