      Hi everyone

      I'm calling up some files and they have the following two plug-ins missing.

      mm.ms.im.Kernel.InDesignPlugin

      mm.ms.im.Templates.InDesignPlugin

      Can anybody tell me which plug-ins these are and what they are used for?

      Thanks in advance.

      I've never seen those exact missing plug-is. But I've seen a lot of missing plug-ins when trying to open a higher InDesign document in a lower-version (i.e., trying to open a CS4 file in CS2 or CS3).

      I've never seen an alert with those plug-ins missing before. Very odd. My guess is that something is very wrong with InDesign. If restarting and rebuilding preferences doesn't work, I'd say there's a reasonable chance you'd need to reinstall the program.

      I had someone else work on a CS4 file, and when it came back I now also get the missing plugin error message.

      mm.ms.im.Kernel.InDesignPlugin

      Every time I save that document I have to name the file – it's like it was converted from an older version or something. I did a Save As, but that didn't fix it. My other files work fine. It's just this one file.

      Any idea how to get rid of this? It's a 28-page newsletter . . . I suppose I could try drag-copying the pages. Anybody figured this one out?

      You can purge a file of unnecessary plugin data by exporting it as INX (CS3 and earlier) or IDML (CS4 (and, presumably, newer!)).

      You can simply “Open” the new document.

      Make sure you save a copy of your original document somewhere — it's not a 100% totally fireproof procedure.

      It is possible that those are from a third-party plug-in developer. I am not aware of what tools they might be; most plug-ins from companies do not do this. Were you perhaps running some kind of special (non-Adobe) tool?

      Ok, Found it. They belong to InMaths plug-in which has been used in the originally document. But the weird thing is that I cannot see any maths formula in this document. Anyway, that is the answer to my problems.

      Thanks David and others

      Hi Al
      Can you help me…I have those exact 2 plug-ins missing…MM.MS.IM.TEMPLATES.PLN and MM.MS.IM.STYLES.PLN
      You said it was an InMaths plug-in from the orginal document? How do I fix this now on my system as I do not have any maths plug-ins?
      This problem is preventing me creating a book in which to put my various chapter files.
      Can someone please help me here??

      TIA

      InMath is now MathTools, so I don’t know, but perhaps the free MathTools Reader will help?
