CS2 INX to CS5.5 conversion problem

Question

When exporting my CS2 layouts as INX files and open them in CS5.5 this happens:
The page on the left is the CS2 doc (how it should look), the page on the right is the INX opened in CS5.5. (Note how the background tint has also changed)
The reason for exporting as INX was to try and get round an ongoing problem of overset text on certain columns when exporting  as IDML in CS5.5 (from converted CS2 docs)
Hope this makes sense!
Any advice as to why this might be happening much appreciated....
Thank you

Answer 1

(By the way, Kit's other post isText flow problem).
Bob noted:
Just so everyone’s clear the issue was originally a problem with InCopy text flow being different than the InDesign file. I advised Kit to make sure that all of the stories have been recomposed before exporting to InCopy and there were two methods discussed. Export to INX from CS2 and open that in CS5.5 or open the INDD file in CS5.5 and export as IDML and open that.
This forces all stories to recompose at once. The other method was to use the KBSC to do it but I felt getting rid of any other extraneous junk would be taken care of by exporting to INX/IDML.
I'm not 100% sure that doing the INX export is the best way to go.
There are some ... rough edges in InDesign's conversion between different versions, and the rough edges are different with INX/IDML export/import than they are with CS2 -> CS5.5. (Not necessarily better...but different.)
You might find that simply forcing CS5.5 to do a recomposition of all text is better. As Bob said (in the other thread), you can use the keyboard shortcut Cmd-Alt/Opt-Slash (/). Or alternatively, use Quick Apply: Cmd-Enter (or Control-Center), and type it in and select it:
Alternatively, you could export to IDML from CS5.5 (rather than INX from CS2).
I would expect that to give you fewer rough edges (but your milage may vary).
