How about an option under the file menu to save a copy of an open document - in order to facilitate creating a backup copy of a file as we work on it (to, hopefully, avoid corrupted file glitches such as the one that cost me a day's work recently). The "save copy as" would differ from "save as" in that the open document would retain its identity as the original "permanent" file, where the copy would be saved to another location as a "temporary" backup. We could even automate this process so that a backup copy would be saved every hour or so.
