Working with documents
Choosing word lists when opening documents
When opening a document, you may see an alert message asking if you want to use the word list in the document or
an exception word list in the user dictionary. An exception word list includes words that were added to the User
Dictionary while the document was worked on. If you know which exception word list you use, click its button. If
you’re not sure, click either button, choose Edit > Spelling > Dictionary to inspect the word lists, and then, if necessary,
choose Edit > Preferences > Dictionary (Windows) or InDesign > Preferences > Dictionary (Mac OS) to reset the
word list used for composition. See “Hyphenation and spelling dictionaries” on page 172.
Convert earlier versions of InDesign documents
❖ To convert previous versions of InDesign documents to the current version, choose File > Open and open the file.
Keep in mind the following points:
• If you used third-party plug-ins to create an earlier version of a document, check with the manufacturer to make
sure that they are installed correctly for and are compatible with InDesign CS4 before you convert the document.
• When you convert a document, you may see an alert message asking if you want to use the exception word list in
the user dictionary or the one in the document. For information about this alert message, see “Choosing word lists
when opening documents” on page 100.
• Library files created in earlier versions of InDesign will open and convert in InDesign CS4, even if the library is
locked. You have to specify a name and location for the converted library files; the default naming convention is
filename-X.indl.
• InDesign CS3 can’t open InDesign CS4 documents directly. To open an InDesign CS4 document in InDesign CS3,
you must do two thing. First, choose File > Export in InDesign CS4 to save the document in INX format. Second,
update InDesign CS3 with special plug-ins. (See “Save backwards to the previous InDesign version” on page 104.)
If you’re experiencing problems with a document that was created in a previous version of InDesign, use the Export
dialog box in InDesign CS4 to save the document in InDesign Markup (IDML) format. Then open the IDML file and
save it as an InDesign document.

About Adobe Bridge
Adobe Bridge is a cross-platform application included with Adobe Creative Suite components that helps you locate,
organize, and browse the assets you need to create print, web, video, and audio content. You can start Adobe Bridge
from any Creative Suite component (except Adobe Acrobat® 9), and use it to access both Adobe and non-Adobe asset
types.
From Adobe Bridge, you can:
• Manage image, footage, and audio files: Preview, search, sort, and process files in Adobe Bridge without opening
individual applications. You can also edit metadata for files, and use Adobe Bridge to place files into your
documents, projects, or compositions.
• Drag assets from Adobe Bridge into the InDesign document window, or drag assets from the document window
into Adobe Bridge to create snippets. See “Use snippets” on page 373.
• Work with Adobe Version Cue®-managed assets. See “Adobe Version Cue” on page 101.
