We are attempting to open InDesign version 2, 'indd' files, with version 3.0.1. We are getting the 'Cannot open xxxx.indd. Please upgrade your plugins to their latest versions, or upgrade to the latest version of Adobe InDesign'.
We are able to use a workaround found on the Adobe site by opening the file in version 2, exporting to an .inx file and then opening/saving using version 3.0.1. This is very cumbersome as we have many files in the older format.
Why can't we just open the file directly in version 3.0.1 as it seems like the program should be backwards compatible? Are there additional plug-ins or updates that need to be loaded?
Thanks very much for your help!
