Hi,

Is there a way in which a file can be saved to multiple locations at one time. Or is there always the need to, "file - save as - etc" to each location.
Many thanks.

You might be able to do this with Automator.

Hi

You can probably use Automator to accomplish this. Here's an example for
Excel:

Open the Automator application
Choose Custom
In the Variables box type the word Excel
Drag the Save Excel Workbooks action to the right side
Repeat, so that you now have two Save Excel Workbooks actions on the right.

Click the Run button to run the workflow.

You can save your workflow as a plugin:
From Automator’s menu choose File@@-->Save As Plugin. Change the lower
pop-up to Plug in for: Script menu. Give the plug-in an appropriate
name, as shown, and then click the Save button.

Your workflow will not be on the right-most script menu in your menu bar.
