      Hello there!

      I'm trying to confirm something. I currently am using InDesign CS4 converting an InDesign document that was used for print into an Epub. But I've been having some trouble with a few things, so decided to download the trial of InDesign CS5.5 to see if it would help.

      If I start making changes to the InDesign 4 documents that have now opened as CS5.5, when my trial is over, will I be able to open those CS5.5 documents in InDesign 4?

      I want to make sure I don't start all the edits only to discover that I cannot open them at a later date.

      Thanks for the help!

      Well, good thing you asked because you can't.

      It's the same as with all new versions of ID: you never have been able to “open” a new document into an older version.

      To transfer a document one version down, you need to Export it to IDML – you can open that with your CS4. Need I remind you any new features used will be lost at that point?

      Thank you so much for the information. That's what I was afraid of

      I had downloaded the CS5.5 trial to see if it was worth it for ePub but to be honest I'm still having the same trouble in CS5.5 that I was in the my CS4 full version.
