Can't open CS3 docs in CS4.

I can't open an indesign doc made only a year ago. I have tried several but none of my old docs appear to open in CS4. Is there no backward compatibility? I am using the latest update version 6.0.3 557 on Vista x64.

Older docs should open just fine.
What is the file extension on the document you are having trouble with? How are you trying to open (Double-click, File > Open)? Do you get an error message?
Is this isolated to older docs in general, specific docs, or are you also unable to sve and reopen a new file?
What is the installation path you used for ID (what folder is it inistalled into)?

  • Missing Plugins for CS2- Can't open CS3 doc

    I am unable to open a CS3 doc (.inx) in CS2. I keep getting an error message saying I am missing the plug-ins LILO.APLN and CELLSTYLES.RPLN. Where do I get these missing plug-ins?
    Thanks for the help!

    Bob,
    What error would you get trying to open CS3 .inx on a CS2 installation that wasn't at build 688?

  • Opening CS3 docs in CS4 are not allowing me to save over?

    Hello,
    When docs created in INCS3 are opened in CS4, by one of my students at their location,  and they go to save them, it treats it like a save as option, asking for the path, rather than allowing them to save over them. Is this normal?
    thanks!

    Yes.
    The first time an older version document is opened in a newer version it is treated as a new document. Among other things, this is a safety feature to help prevent accidental overwriting and rendering a legacy file useless in the old version.

    You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
    Pages 5.2 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 5.2 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
    Older versions of Pages 5 can not open files from later versions of Pages 5.
    Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
    Anything that is saved to iCloud and opened in a newer version of Pages 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.
    Apple has removed almost 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

    Can you open word doc. In pages? (Opening a doc. From the web) in the iPad or iPod tuch?

    NH,
    This may seem a fine point, but iWork apps don't actually Open Office apps. They Import them. The reason I make this distinction for you is that when you view the result of the import, you may see some variations from what was in the Office document because of an imperfect translation, and when you make edits, you are editing an iWork document, not the original Office document.

  • I can't open CS5 documents in CS4

    I can't open CS5 documents in CS4. I know I need to update my plugins, but when I go to updates it says there are none. I have a hardcopy of CS4, is there a way to download CS4 electronically so I can receive all the updates I need? I have no idea how to do this manually . . . or maybe I just need to upgrade to CS5?

    Or else you need to update CS4 to the 6.0.6 patch...

  • Can't open Word docs after updating to Pages 5.1

    Can't open Word docs after updating to Pages 5.1. Have newest Mavericks OS.

    I could open .doc and .docx files when I originally purchased Pages 4.3 in July 2013. After software was updated to 5.1 January 2014 I can no longer open any .doc or .docx files. Now, when I try to open one, is says for example: "PET.doc" can't be opened.
    **You, know what? I just tried to save a pages document and it won't even let me do that. Saying I don't have permission to move. I double checked my sharing & permissions and that's not the problem. I can't even export the file to anything else (pdf, word, etc). Says the same thing: "Document.pages couldn't be moved because you don't have permission to access folder. To view or change permissions, select the item in the Finder and choose File > Get Info."
    So it seems the entire app is crap. Although like I said it worked fine pre-update.

  • Can't open CS3 file

    Often can't open CS3 files (I'm working in CS3). Then when the sender resaves in new file, problem is fixed. Huh? Am I missing a plug-in? How do I figure out which plug-in I'm missing? Is this even the problem?

    It's not unusual to have this sort of error on a windows machine when trying to open files saved on a Mac and sent without compressing first. I often see two files show up in the attachments, both with the same name.
    One is the resource fork, which is useless to windows users and generates that kind of error if you try to open it, and the other is the data fork, which is what you need. You can usually tell the difference by the size. The big one is the one you want.

  • How can I open Microsoft doc attached to my iPad email

    How can I open Microsoft doc attached to my iPad email

    The document should open as an email attachment in the mail app. Did you tap on the icon in order to open the file?
    However, if you want to save or edit the document, then you will need a Word compatible app on the iPad. pages, Documents To Go, quick Office Pro ... And others are available in the app store.
    But you can open and read it right from the mail app as an attachment.

  • Can CS2 open CS3 files?

    I will be creating CS3 files for a new client that has CS2. Can CS2 open CS3 files? I'm sure this has been asked many times here, but I can't find the answer in a search. Thank you.

    Yes, unless the file contains anything created by a CS3 specific feature that does not exist in CS2.  They're both old versions, so I can't think of any off the top of my head.  Just remember to save with maximize compatibility checked.
    A flattened file would never be a problem, of course.

    When I download word docs my MacBook is adding the flv extension onto the doc extension and I can't open the doc. Any ideas?

    Go to the main Library folder and look for a folder called Application Support / Microsoft.
    There are a few folders in there, and you may have to do some digging. In one of them (mine is called MAU2.0), there should be a file called Microsoft Autoupdate. Open it.
    It looks like this:
    check the button for manual updates.
    That should let you open the apps without triggering an automatic update.
