  1. This is what I did, only more quickly. A 14-day trial enabled me to export 15 years' worth of .idd to .idml, and now I can open them all with Affinity Publisher. Note: I also took a hard look at just what exactly I needed to export -- turned out to be about 85 files in the end.
  2. I have a recent iMac with an Intel chip, and I’m holding off on Big Sur for a few months. Should I update to 1.8.6?
  3. In the end, a 7-day trial of InDesign and five or six hours of work is what it took to convert all essential .idd documents to .idml. Although there is a lot of justified skepticism here, I really did open an .idd resumé (that had no images in it) with perfect results in Word.
  4. I have a desktop Mac running Catalina, and I have Affinity Publisher 1.8.4 Recently, it crashed. I could not find anyplace where work had been automatically saved, nor someplace where you could choose (save every 5 or 10 minutes or whatever). I may be using the wrong words, but a search of your online help revealed nothing. Does Publisher have an autosave feature? If so, how can I access it? Thanks!
  5. It seems to me that there is a little bit of arrogance coming from members of this forum (or else it's sarcasm that I'm not picking up on). I don't want to use InDesign forever. Starting right now, I want to be able to create all NEW documents in Affinity. I just don't want all my idd documents to be lost forever -- the contents of everything from resumés to past theatre programs (I run a small theatre) are unavailable to me in Catalina, and Affinity won't open them. I would love nothing more than to convert them all into Affinity documents, and I would think Affinity would want me to. If MS Word can execute a nearly flawless translation of an idd resumé into a docx, I'm not sure why Affinity can't or doesn't want to.
