I am building a book of multiple indd files (chapters).
when I add a particular indd file, indesign crashes.
this happens in both cs5, when add the file built in cs5
and it happens in cs6, when I add the file opened and resaved using cs6.
it happens if it is the 2nd or 5th indd file.
it does not happen if it is the first file to add to the book.
however, it typically crashes if I add a second indd file, and always crashes if I try to move any other indd file "before/above" it in the book, it crashes.
The file opens fine if I open it on its own. it is only 22 pages and many of the other chapters are 40-70 pages.
it is set to auto page # and auto chapter #.
Any ideas on what I can fix in the file so I can include it in my book!?
thanks!
Try exporting the probelm file to .idml and resave, then see if the new file works. See Remove minor corruption by exporting
I haven't done a Book in CS6 yet, but I'm starting to wonder if there might be some sort of bug (not extremely likely, but....) that's new. We had another post yesterday where ID crashed when trying to move a particular file into the chapter 5 position.
Can you add this file first, then move it to the correct spot after the other files are added?
