Can InDesign 6 open a document created in InDesign 4?

Can InDesign 6 open a document created in InDesign 4?

I have opened CS3 files without issue, so CS4 files shoudn't be a problem. If you are using CS6 or CC and you want to save a file to open in CS4, save the file as an .idml file. See here http://helpx.adobe.com/indesign/kb/save-indesign-files-previous-versions.html for more information.

  • How can I open a document created in Classic on MacOS X?  When I tried to open it, it says Classic Not Supported. What do I do?

    How can I open a document created in Classic on MacOS X?  When I tried to open it, it says Classic Not Supported. What do I do?

    The short answer is:
    Single click on the document you created in Classic, bring up your 'popup' menu (right click or control-click), select 'Open With' and choose the Mac OS X application you believe will open the document.
    If this does not work. Tell us which Classic application you created the document with and which applications you have which you believe will open your 'classic' document.

  • Can't open 1 document created using travel journal template

    Since installing Snow Leopard yesterday I found out I can't open this one file I created using the travel journal template. All other Pages '09 files are fine. I just get this error message telling me Pages had to close my document "unexpectedly".
    *"Pages quit unexpectedly while using the SFWordProcessing plug-in"*
    Don't see why it would need to use this plug-in. And I don't recall choosing this plug-in. There must be a way around this. To open this file by turning off that plug-in perhaps. Unless it's absolutely necessary when using the templates. Or the "travel journal" template.

  • A friend wants me to put together on booklet that's been done in excel. I'm on a mac os 10. Do I need to download microsoft excel for mac or can I open the document through indesign?

    I second LibreOffice as it's the most recent fork, however NeoOffice and OpenOffice will also work.
    Just say No money to Redmond!
    Also the old Ready Set Go! will be having a Lion version out soon.
    It's a low cost page layout program (like Indesign but without the high price) and can make booklets etc better, import the excel grpahics from LibreOffice.

  • Pages 5.5.1: When opening a document created with Pages '09 (Version 4.0) with Pages 5.5.1 the page header and the page footer are deleted. How can this be prevented? Or is this a bug in Pages 5.5.1?

    Same problem here (no graphics in header or footer) and the problem has been reported months ago. It is another bug/feature lost when Apple moves from 09 to the iCloud-compatible versions.  Complain to Apple, you may have better chance than me and they may finally listen to their users....

    You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
    Pages 5 is in your Applications folder.
    Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
    You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
    Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
    Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
    Anything that is saved to iCloud is also converted to Pages 5 files.
    All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
    Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
    Note: Apple has removed over 90 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

    Archive/trash Pages 5, after exporting all Pages 5 files to Pages '09 or Word .docx, and rate/review it in the App Store, then get back to work.

    If you plan on collaborating with other users who have progressed with the technology you are gong to have to upgrade. There is simply no way any longer to continue with XP and CS2 except in isolation.

  • Pages created a random password for my document on my iPad. I have no idea what it is and I can't open my document. HELP!!!

    Pages created a random password for my document on my iPad. I have no idea what it is and I can't open my document. HELP!!!

    How old is your son?
    Under the Spanner in Pages there is Set Password where you create a password with hint. You really have to deliberately dig this out to do it.
    Do you get a hint when you are asked for the password?
    The Password is very secure, if you can't remember what it is, you will have to recreate the document.

  • INDESIGN CS5 V. 7.0.4: Can't Open a .jpg file in InDesign  made with InDesign (It's Grayed Out)

  • When I try to open a document created in Pages, I get an error message saying "[Document Name" can't be opened."  I don't want to lose hours of work; has anyone else encountered this?

    When I try to open a document created in Pages, I get an error message saying "[Document Name" can't be opened."  I don't want to lose hours of work; has anyone else encountered this?

    A few general trouble shooting tips that may apply here:
    1. If you used Software Update to do the OS update(s) to reach 10.6.7, go to http://support.apple.com/downloads/ and download and apply the Mac OS v10.6.7 Combo Updater. The Combo Updater contains some fixes that were not included in the incremental updaters used by Software Update.
    1a. Check that you have the current version of Pages (and of the other iWork applications) installed. All three applications' current version numbers end in .0.5
    2. A common cause of malfunctioning applications is a corrupted preferences file (.plist file). Your Pages '09's plist is at yourname > Library > Preferences > com.apple.iWork.pages.plist
    Quit Pages, locate the file and Drag it to the Desktop (or to the Trash).
    Restart Pages and attempt to open one of the files.
    If all is well, Trash the plist file and empty the Trash.
    If there's no change, AND you've made changes to the Preferences that you wish to keep, drag the file back to its previous location, replacing any new one that has been created.

  • Suddenly I can't open one document in inumbers: "The sheet can't be imported. The document was created with an unsupported application version."

    Yesterday I worked on a inumbers document on my mac mini. No problem. 3 hours later I would open the same document on my ipad. It told me that there were 2 versions and I had to choose one (surprisingly bouth had the same time/date). Since then I can't open this document anymore (regardless if iphone, ipad, mac mini): "The sheet can't be imported. The document was created with an unsupported application version." I worked on this document more than 1 year only on my ipad, iphone, imac... how can i get it worked or back? Other documents are still working properly.
    Thanks for any hint.

    The first part of the warning message was in german, so it's probably not translated as it really appears in englisch:
    Massage on IPad and IPhone: "Tabelle kann nicht importiert werden. The document was created with an unsupported application version.
    Message on mac mini: ""Verbrauch.numbers" kann nicht geöffnet werden"
    What changed since is also, that the mini privew for this document no more exist; it shows just the inumbers icon in the sheet. The other documents around this one appears with preview and can be open, e.g. are working fine.

  • I can't open 3 documents because trial upgrade to version 5 of pages happened. I don't want to pay $20 to get upgrade. How do I open docs in older version. They were created in older version.

    I can't open 3 documents because trial upgrade to version 5 of pages happened. I don't want to pay $20 to get upgrade. I don't recall fine print stating money would be needed. How do I open docs in older version? They were created in older version.

    Hi MBilyeu,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    You can use these steps to open your Pages documents with the previous version:
    Permanently change the document’s app
    Select the document and choose File > Get Info.
    In the Info window, click the triangle next to “Open with” to expand the section.
    Choose an app from the pop-up menu, or choose Other to locate a different app.
    If you want to use that app to open all documents of the same type as the current document and created by the same app, click Change All.
    Temporarily change the document’s app
    You can open a document in a different app without changing the app that normally opens it. Use either of these methods:
    Control-click the document, choose Open With, and then choose the app you want to use.
    Drag the document to the app’s icon in the Dock or in the Finder.
    From:
    OS X Mountain Lion: Choose an app to open a document

  • How can I open quarkxpress 8 files with indesign?

    Hi, prior to purchasing CC a sales person whom I spoke with using online chat confirmed that InDesign would open QuarkXpress files and a plugin was already in the application.
    I can't open any quark files from InDesign. Can this be done without purchasing a third party plug-in?
    Thanks in advance

    InDesign can natively open Quark 4.x and 3.x files only. To open anything
    later you’ll need a copy of Q2ID from Markzware.

  • Pages 5.0 can't open iCloud documents.  Has anybody run into this issue?

    Here's the story:
    I upgraded to Pages 5.0 and can't open .pages documents saved in icloud.
    It does not seem to be a file incompatibility.  I am creating files in Pages for Mac, saving them to iCloud.  They are immediately unable to re-open. 
    I only get a message saying:  The file “{file name}.pages” couldn’t be opened.
    Documents can be created without issue.  If they are saved to my local drive, I can open them again.
    Obviously, this makes it very difficult to use Pages with any other devices because document syncing is impossible.
    Details on my system:
    Mid-2010 13" Macbook pro
    2.4 Ghz core 2 duo
    8 GB ram
    OS X 10.9

    I was also experiencing same issues without being to open Older Pages Docs from iCloud in Pages 5.  I followed suneson Recommendation and process to the T...    Works perfectly. 
    Important to note you do have to do the second part in order for it to work completely.  I tested just the first half and still had issues.  Once Disabling and Re-enabling Documents and Clearing Cache - works perfectly now.  Thanks Suneson!
    Suneson process:
    Move all of your iCloud documents to a local folder (offline).
    Go to the iCloud preference pane i System Preferences.
    Click Manage... and delete all Pages data.
    The Next Step is required:
    Go back to iCloud preferences and uncheck "Documents & Data".
    Check it again.
    Delete ~/Library/Caches/--anything related to Pages or iWork--
