      I have a saved indesign file and open it and continue to work on it – and when I try to save it – the program wants me to “save as” instead of simply saving the file. Therefore, I have to go and overwrite my original file.

      Does anyone know why this happens or how to fix it. I am using CS6

      It is annoying to have to go and find my original file when I should be able to simply “Save” it…

      ??

      Maybe the file is locked? Or it’s saved as an indt (indesign template) file?
      When you open it, does it show up as “[Converted]” in the title bar?

      David, it does say “converted” in the title bar – what is this??

      It is saved as .indd file

        ?Converted? added to the title is InDesign?s way of telling you that the file was saved by an earlier version than the one you are now using. For instance, it may have been saved by InDesign CS5 but you are opening it in InDesign CS5.5 or CS6.
        In such cases, hitting Command-S (or its PC equivalent) or selecting ?Save? from the File Menu, will always prompt you with the ?Save As?? dialog box as it may well be that you wish to keep the earlier version file so that it can still be opened with the earlier version of InDesign. Saving the file with a new name or in a different location gives you the option of being able to open either iteration in the appropriate version of InDesign.
