Every single version of InDesign since CS2 can only save back one version. You need someone with a CS4.

Features made in newer versions are removed from the document -- for a double-down, that goes twice.

Thanks that's helpful.

Anyone got CS4 who can open and resave a document for me?

Yeh I can't believe that there is no Legacy saves for InDesign.

I can remember having this same problem when I used to use Quark Xpress!

If it's only one file you can email it to me and I'll save it back for you.
