Aloha,

After decades using PageMaker to design "coffee-table" books, I am tediously
learning InDesign. With the exception of several harried emails to Ole when
I have reached a state of complete confusion, all has gone relatively well
on books I am generating myself. A problem just arose when I tried to open
InDesign files from a client.

I am using a stand-alone InDesign CS4 I purchased from Adobe as an upgrade
from PM. Also have a stand-alone Photoshop CS4. When I tried to open
client's files this morning, I got an error message: *Cannot open "Chapter
01.indd". Please upgrade your plug-ins to their latest versions, or upgrade
to the latest version of InDesign.*

The box contained a list of 18 plug-ins starting with
FormField.InDesignPlugin and ending with Spline.InDesignPlugin.

I immediately went to the Adobe website hoping to find a folder labeled "CS4
plugins" from which I could pick and choose the ones I needed to download.
All I actually found were sales blurbs pitching CS5 and 5.5. I did a search
for "InDesign 4 plug-ins" which returned 3006 items. Is there a better way
to do this? It looks to me like I could spend more time digging out these
plug-ins just to open client's files than in doing the work once they're
open.

Thanks,

Mac Simpson
