Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
If that does not work, Scribus is free software that is intended as a replacement for DTP including indesign. From your point of view the advantange is that it can open indesign files and save them to earlier formats. The bad thing about Scribus is that a lot of people describe it as "user hostile".
I've never tried it, but if you want to give it a go, I'll you can at least figure it out enough to open a file and then save it to another format. And I'll bet someone on this board can give support. Hmm I'm assuming here that it has been updated enough to be able to open files from the version you are having trouble opening. Anyway, less a rec than an option

Oops. According to Wikipedia, scribus won't read indesign native files.

I've got a couple of problems with my home theater setup that I'm hoping someone here can help with.
1) When using either my DVD or my Tivo, my speakers sometimes emit a loud metallic sound. Sometimes it will be a single pop; other times a few of the speakers will all sound off several times, creating a sort-of metallic surround-sound crackle. Usually, if I rewind the DVD or Tivo for a few seconds and then start playing again, the sound stops. The Tivo is connected to the receiver via HDMI while the DVD uses component video.
2) When watching a DVD, the screen sometimes splits into two side by side identical images. If I turn off the receiver and turn it back on, the image looks normal again. This keeps recurring -- sometimes every half hour and sometimes every few minutes.
Any suggestions, short of replacing the receiver?
Is the audio connect between the DVD player and the receiver analog or digital?
I handled a friend's evo yesterday.
As many problems as AT&T has, I'd much rather be with them than with Sprint. Hands-down the worst cell phone experience I've ever had, both call quality and customer service.
(Also, I lurve my new iPhone. It's SO FREAKING FAST compared to my old 3G.)
I think the craziness is that they REALLY want you to upgrade. The problem is that the upgrade might necessitate a computer upgrade as well, and my department isn't willing to do that.
Is the audio connect between the DVD player and the receiver analog or digital?
I should doublecheck, but I'm pretty sure I've got a digital connection.
Sophia, I have CS3 ... and 2. I may have 4.
And I almost never use it any more.
It sounds like your receiver is having difficulty switching between stereo PCM and Dolby digital. I can't offer any insight as to why; I would normally say it's a bad cable, but you're getting the same effect from two different input sources.
Toddson-
If I emailed you a file, could you Save as an .IDX file (in CS3) and email it back to me, by any chance? Or is that something that would be a pain?
