How to save Pages from Dock

[pickett22]

I keep a Pages document I access all the time in the Dock at the bottom the Desktop for easy access. I open it, make changes and then hit CMD+S, but it asks where I want to save it. Of course I want to save it in its Dock location. If I choose Desktop it saves it there as a separate document, Not the one in the Dock. How do I set it up to automatically save it back to where it opened from - in the Dock location?

I have a document in Numbers which I have dragged from Finder to the dock, please see attached screenshot. It stays there, and everything that I save goes to the document in its original place.

You can not "save" a socument in the dock, the document is saved in it's original folder (usually "Documents"). The file in the dock is an alias.

Yes, your document is not stored in the Dock. That's just where you keep track of it, with an alias -- an icon that is a short-cut to the file.
If you want to see where the document is really stored: Right-click on your document icon in the dock, go to "Options", then click "Show in Finder", and there it is! Documents can be saved virtually anywhere in your storage, location is your choice.

So open your file using the icon in the Dock. Make a small change and click Save. Close the file. Open it again in the same manner. Your change will be there. This will prove to you that what others have posted is true.
