ParticipantAre they requesting the file on a Syquest disk? :)
ParticipantI assume you're referring to Vista and CS3 since this issue doesn't exist in Windows 7 or with CS4 and Windows XP 64 is unsupported. Here's a link to thread in the Adobe U2U forums with the fix:

Participantdoc, It might work but I've never been a fan of doing that for anything important.
There are two issues. First, there's no assurance it will be totally accurate. Second, it may well violate the font license. If it's a high quality font, I'm sure there's going to be Windows and Mac versions available. If not, use the Windows version.
If this is a new project, I would certainly be looking for some pro OpenType fonts. It just makes the job much easier and finding a font with all the goodies (small caps, swashes, old style figures, ligatures, etc.) makes for a much more attractive document.
ParticipantThe Mac can read Window TrueType and for Adobe apps they can be placed in the Adobe/Fonts folder. You can't use Mac fonts on Windows. All that said, OpenType is the current standard and is completely cross platform. Additionally, it allow for thousands of glyphs eliminating the need for expert sets.
Stick with Opentype and it won't matter what platform you're using.
ParticipantThere's no way I know of to get an exact duplicate, but I feel compelled to warn you that InDesign will not honor the blend modes from a PSD file(that is if the drop shadow is set to multiply, it won't be honored as a blend mode against an InDesign background) so be careful.
As AM pointed out, you can separate the effects from the layer by using the Layer>Layer Style>Create Layer command in Photoshop.
ParticipantIt doesn't really matter. The end result is going to be the same.
The only positive I see in doing it in Word is that there will be a clean content file when you're done.
BTW, Mac/Windows is a red herring. It's meaningless in this workflow.

ParticipantI'm pretty sure it can be scripted. If nobody comes along here you might wan't to try the scipting forum at Adobe's User to User forums.

ParticipantWell, okay…LCD is fine. :)
ParticipantPlease note that going back even one version can be dangerous. Two is going to add to that.
While it might be worth going back just to get someone the basic layout and content, this is no way to collaborate. There are new features in CS4 and CS3 that will be lost or badly mangled going back to CS2.
I suggest having the CS2 user upgrade to CS4 in order to make this work smoothly.
