Choosing word lists when opening documents
When opening a document, you may see an alert message asking if you want to use the word list in the document or
an exception word list in the user dictionary. An exception word list includes words that were added to the User
Dictionary while the document was worked on. If you know which exception word list you use, click its button. If
you’re not sure, click either button, choose Edit > Spelling > Dictionary to inspect the word lists, and then, if
necessary, choose Edit > Preferences > Dictionary (Windows) or InDesign > Preferences > Dictionary (Mac OS) to
reset the word list used for composition.

Convert earlier versions of InDesign documents
❖ To convert previous versions of InDesign documents to the current version, choose File > Open and open the file.
Keep in mind the following points:
• If you used third-party plug-ins to create an earlier version of a document, check with the manufacturer to make
sure that they are installed correctly for and are compatible with InDesign CS3 before you convert the document.
(See “Configure plug-ins” on page 591.)
• 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 93.
• Library files created in earlier versions of InDesign will open and convert in InDesign CS3, 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 CS2 can’t open InDesign CS3 documents directly. You must update InDesign CS2 with special plug-ins
and choose File > Export in InDesign CS3 to save documents in INX format before opening them in previous
versions. (See “Save backwards to previous InDesign versions” on page 96.)
About Adobe Bridge
Adobe Bridge is a cross-platform application included with Adobe Creative Suite 3 components that helps you locate,
organize, and browse the assets you need to create print, web, video, and audio content. You can start Bridge from
any Creative Suite component (except Acrobat® 8), 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 Bridge without opening
individual applications. You can also edit metadata for files, and use Bridge to place files into your documents,
projects, or compositions.
• Drag assets from Bridge into the InDesign document window, or drag assets from the document window into
Bridge to create snippets.
• Work with Adobe Version Cue®-managed assets.
• 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.
