Reply To: Old Corrupted InD files – any solution?

Thank you, David.

Partial success. None of the files had a file extension (remember they were rare on Macs way back when) and when I added the file extension, I was able to open three of the seven dodgy files. Fortunately, from my point of view, those three files were probably the most important in terms of otherwise lost contents.

But the other four keep giving me a message: “Cannot open the file [name]. Adobe InDesign may not support the file format, a plug-in that supports the file may be missing, or the file may be open in another application.” Since I have not used ploug-ins and it is clearly not open in another application, it looks like these four may be lost causes.

Unless someone has another solution?
