Question
Help.

I have sent a series of Mac InDesign files (packaged and stuffed). When the client tries to open them on their PC they get a message that says: "If I try opening by selecting ID as the app, it still gives me a message that In Design cannot read the files."...help. THANK YOU!

Answer
Hi Mike,

I've not encountered that error before, Try launching InDesign CS3 on the PC and opening your files from the ID File menu and make sure your files have the .indd extension on them.

Hope this helps,
