Indesign 6: "Cannot open "*.indd".

Wolsung Nov 10, 2014 8:05 AM

Is there a way to open a file Indesign refuses to open?

I was working in this file minutes before, then closed Indesign and opened the file again - but now I get the "Cannot open "*.indd". message. Help?

The EXACT message is:

"Cannot open Expansion.indd".

That's it.

No more to the message?

Try a reboot.
Check for a .idlk file in the same folder and delete it.
Try Choosing the Open as a Copy option in the Open Dialog.
