Copy Existing Filename to 'Save As' Field

While many utilities provide file naming automation, they're mostly overkill for those cases when you need to make small variations in file content while ensuring the documents group together in a "by name" list.

In the Save As dialog, the default name is the current document name. You can quickly change this to match any existing file.

1. Make the list of files the active element.

2. Click on a grayed-out filename, which momentarily turns black.

3. The Save As field now contains the filename you just clicked.

You can modify the name (adding, say, "version 3") or overwrite that existing file you clicked.

Apple Posts $55 Million Quarterly Profit

Apple significantly surpassed analysts expectations today by posting a $55 million profit on revenues of $1.4 billion for its second fiscal quarter of 1998. This marks Apple's second consecutive profitable quarter, having earned $45 million in the first quarter of this fiscal year. In contrast, Apple lost $708 million dollars in this same quarter last year, due in no small part to the acquisitition of NeXT Software. According to Apple, just over half of the 650,000 Macs sold were Power Macintosh G3 systems (which continue to show strong demand), and international sales accounted for 50 percent of Apple's total revenues in the quarter.
