Is it possible to make InDesign files created in CS5.5 backwardly compatible with CS4 and CS3?

I have recently installed CS5.5 on my iMac running Mac OSX Lion. I have documents that were prepared in CS3 and CS4. They read OK in CS5.5 but I cannot then save them to be read in the earlier versions. Any Ideas please?

You'll need to export to IDML to open in CS4. If you need them in CS3 you'll need to open the IDML in CS4 and export to INX. You can open the INX in CS3.
WARNING: New features will be lost or badly mangled and due to changes in the text engine text will reflow throughout your document.

EPS file opens as code language on Mac CS4 and CS3

A client is providing us with some art work for packaging material in EPS format. The Illustrator CS4 and CS3 open these files as some kind of Code language. This is how it looks like on my illustrator window ( saved as PDF and copy pasted a portion ):

CS 3.0.1 will not open InDesign files created in 2008 - it says a plug-in may be missing.

My CS 3.0.1 will not open InDesign files created in 2008. It says a plug-in may be missing. I did have a computer crash since I last opened it. I've tried changing the extension to inx, but that doesn't work. I cannot get the file to open. Can someone help?

The OP is using CS. He/she could be trying to open CS2 or later.
Simply changing the file extension will do know good and only an INX exported from CS2 will work.

GB does not support exporting MIDI files, you'd need to open the file with Logic to do that

Can you open Dreamweaver files created in CS5 in CS4?

Does anyone know if it is possible to backsave a CS5 Dreamweaver file to be compatible with CS4???
Any help is much appreciated!

No conversion is required.
Dreamweaver creates HTML and CSS files which are plain text (readable by humans) and can even be opened in a text editor.
There is no proprietary code or file format like there is in Microsoft Word.

TS4498 Is music created in logic pro compatible with the logic pro x ? for instance if you have created something in logic pro and wont to add or tweak it a bit is that possible?

Is music created in logic pro compatible with the logic pro x ? for instance if you have created something in logic pro and want to add or tweak it, is that possible? I suppose you would need the original logic folder?

Yes it is more or less compatible, except the use of 32 bit plugins, which is prohibited from now on. So although you're able to open Logic projects as far as down to v5 I believe, it is advisable to remain for 'adding and tweaking' in your pre LPX environment.
Have a nice day!

IDML file created in CS5.5 misbehaving in CS5

A client supplied an IDML file created in CS5.5 which I opened it in CS5. I created a paragraph style, applied it and the font colour was different than the one I had specified. Just to be sure, I checked all the specs. I applied the default basic para style to clear the problem and re-applyed my style but that didn't sort out the problem. This is only one of the issues I've run into recently with IDML files. Does anyone have other stories? What did you do to fix it (short of upgrading to CS 5.5 - LOL!)?

thanks, good suggestion - no alias. As well, I originated the para style so need to check with client.
update: I dug a bit deeper and discovered <blush> the problem was as simple as character styles overriding my paragraph styles. Yes, I am a trained professional. LOL
However.... I have found IDML files created in CS5.5 glitchy - really, I have.

Can files created in cs5.5 design premium be saved so they open in Photoshop CS2 or Illustrator CS4?

Can files created in cs5.5 design premium be saved so they open in Photoshop CS2 or Illustrator CS4?

Yes, you can save compatible files as long as you obey the rules like not using unsupported features such as nested groups, per group clipping masks, smart objects and several other things in Photoshop and use the "Maximize Compatibility" option. Illustrator will simply expand the appearance of objects or rasterize/ flatten them when going back to older versions if a feature is not available or changed in those old versions.

Does Apple make/sell the new "Apple In-Ear Headphones with Remote and Mic" with a one sided configuration? So that a person that is deaf in one can hear both sides of a stereo recording? Also, since the "other" bud is not necessary/useful...it's removed.

Does Apple make/sell the new "Apple In-Ear Headphones with Remote and Mic" with a one sided configuration? So that a person that is deaf in one can hear both sides of a stereo recording? Also, since the "other" bud is not necessary/useful...it's removed.

As far as I know, Apple sells no such configuration. However, under Settings > General > Accessability, there is an option to play back audio in monoural mode, which would then play both halves of a stereo mix in each earbud.
Hope that helps.

How to create labeled table of Content with expand and collapse

Hi All,
Can somebody help me how to create labeled table of Content with expand and collapse as example given below:
User1
Template1
Template2
User2
+
User3
Template1
Template2
Like when we see expand (+) and collapse (-) button when we click on 'about this page' link.
Thanks
Bhupendra

Hi,
Tou can use Table inside table to show the details this way but I'm not sure about Expand/Collapse.
Expand/Collapse are part of HGRID.
I think we can develop this functionality with little manipulation.
