Working with documents

Last updated 11/16/2011

When you convert a document, you may see an

alert message asking if you want to use the exception word list in

the user dictionary or the one in the document. For information about this alert message, see

Choosing word lists

when opening documents

” on page 102.

Library files created in earlier versions of InDesign will open and convert in InDesign

CS5, even if the library is

locked. You have to specify a name and location for the converted library files; the default naming convention is
filename-X.indl.

InDesign

CS4 can’t open InDesign

CS5 documents directly. To open an InDesign CS5 document in InDesign CS4,

you must do two things. First, choose File

> Export in InDesign CS5 to save the document in IDML format. Second,

update InDesign CS4 with special plug-ins that let you open the IDML file. (See “

Save backwards to the previous

InDesign

version

” on page 107.)

If you’re experiencing problems with a document that was created in a previous version of InDesign, use the Export
dialog box in InDesign CS5 to save the document in InDesign Markup (IDML) format. Then open the IDML file and

save it as an InDesign document.

Using Adobe Bridge with InDesign

Adobe Bridge is a cross-platform application included with Adobe Creative Suite components that helps you locate,
organize, and browse the assets you need to create print, web, video, and audio content. You can start Adobe Bridge
from any Creative Suite component (except Adobe Acrobat®), and use it to access both Adobe and non-Adobe asset
types.

From Adobe Bridge, you can:

Manage image, footage, and audio files: Preview, search, sort, and process files in Adobe Bridge without opening
individual applications. You can also edit metadata for files, and use Adobe Bridge to place files into your
documents, projects, or compositions.

View the links inside an InDesign document as thumbnails while in Adobe Bridge, without actually having to open
the InDesign document in InDesign.

Drag assets from Adobe Bridge into the InDesign document window, or drag assets from the document window
into Adobe Bridge to create snippets. See

Use snippets

” on page 396.

Perform automated tasks, such as batch commands.

Synchronize color settings across color-managed Creative Suite components.

Start a real-time web conference to share your desktop and review documents.
