      I have been searching for how to install plug-ins for InDesign cs6 and am unable to find the plug-in window or how to install them. I have some plug-ins from CS5 and wondered if they would work in 6? If so, how do I install them? Where is the drop down that lists all of the plug-ins?

      You can kind of get there with the Manage Extensions feature (which is in the InDesign menu on the Mac and… um… Help menu in Windows?)

      But most people install plug-ins manually:

      If they're scripts, it's different:

      However, I can tell you that if they're plug-ins, they will not work across versions. All plug-ins have to be updated for each version of InDesign. Scripts sometimes work from one version to the next.

      thanks David, I did find it under the Help menu (for some reason I thought it was under the Extensions drop down under window and thought maybe it was missing something) and will check out the website for installing. Good to know that plug-ins do not work across versions and we will have to order an update for that plug-in.

      cheers
