    I've just installed CS6 (DVD not Cloud). When I open InDesign it tells me it can't load various things. Here's an example. I'm feeling desperate. InD CS5.5 won't load any plugins (IndexPro, BarcodeMaker etc.) since I installed the 7.5.3.3 update so I thought CS6 would be the answer. And if I had the Transform Panel plug-in, I'd install it. Do you know where I can find it? Thanks — Ann

    I've since done a search and the Transform Panel.InDesignPlugin is in the Layout folder of Plug-ins — so why isn't InD CS6 deploying it for goodness' sake?! :(

    With CS6 being so new, I'd imagine that it might take them awhile to be able to fully integrate all of the plugins upon instillation of the the new software. Aside from contacting them, I would suggest waiting it out.

    Also is the plugin made by Adobe or an outside company? CS6 might not recognize some third party software or simply haven't created the methods in which to integrate them yet.

    Are you sure you're not trying to open an CS6 file in CS5, or a CS5.5 in CS5? That's when you usually get the very misleading alerts about missing plug-ins.

    Try opening CS6 from the Programs/Applications folder, not by double-clicking an INDD file. See if you get the same error.

    This is a really good point. Many people don't realize that CS5 and CS6 files are different. It's possible to covert them but you will definitely see error messages regarding plugins.

    File integrity is one of the most common causes for errors.

    Still having a bad time. I installed CS6 3 times and always got the same problems above. Never got as far as opening InDesign CS6 at all. However, someone pointed me at Adobe's CS Cleaner Tool, so I cleaned out CS6 and, after a couple of weeks, tried to install again. It seemed to go well but when I tried to install plugins (Teacup's barcode and patterns for CS6, MultiFind/Exchange script etc.), Adobe Extension Manager came up and listed a slew of idcs6 extensions that 'failed to instal'. It'd be so helpful if it said why. Well, I tried again and it was ok.

    Now I've just tried to amend a book originally set up in CS5.5. It opened the book ok, I ticked the Auto Document Conversion, amended one or two typos, added a page to one of the chapters: the book renumbered the following pages and crashed. Tried again. Crashed. Went back, got the book out of Time Machine, amended in CS5.5: good as gold.

    So — should I only start new books in CS6? What about all the templates? Can I copy all the Para/Character Styles over if I open an empty/new document in CS6? Does CS6 not like CS5.5 documents?

    At my wits' end at usual. But thanks for trying to help above.
