Question
I use a Mac, our client a PC. I have made some doc. in Indesign CS3 version 5.
which my client has to work on – but he can't open my documents?
”Indesign content manager bla. bla bla.”
What can we do??? Does he need to upgrade his Indesign when we both use
CS3
Hope you can help

Hi Marianne,
Everything should go back and forth pretty easy between platforms. One thing you might want to try is to export your document as an InDesign Interchange document (.inx).
First, I would Package the document so that you have a folder that includes all the fonts and links. Then select File > Export and then choose InDesign Interchange from the Format drop-down menu in the Export dialog box. (Similar to exporting to PDF.) Include this in the packaged folder instead of the .indd file with the instruction for them to open it as they would any .indd document. Keep your original InDesign document, of course.
Hope this helps!
Another tip is to always make sure you both have the latest updates to your CS3 which you can check by going under the Help > Updates... menu. Good luck.

Experience
After starting my design career using QuarkXPress and PageMaker for many years, the release of InDesign instantly caught my eye. Being one of the reasons for Adobe buying Aldus, I knew this would change the publishing world very quickly. I started using InDesign's first release and haven't looked back. I have dedicated my work and much of my spare time using InDesign to its fullest—and it's paid off. My workflow is quicker, my computer runs smoother, and my files print cleaner and without problem.
