Publisher IDML import

[Alan Sypher]

I was elated to see that Pub. 1.8 can import IDML files from InDesign. I was chagrined to realize that all of my InDesign files are not IDML  They are all INDD files. My ID version is v5. I do not have more current ID software such as a CC version. Does anyone know how to convert INDD files to the IDML format so I can import them into Publisher and say goodbye to InDesign?

You can export to IDML using InDesign CS5. You can probably even run a batch script to export them en masse.

5.1 does not offer IDML export I think, so I would advise to install a trial of current Indesign. Maybe some of the conversion scripts to IDML you can find in the web work with CC. Lately I used such a script in CS6 to batch convert all of my INDD files.

Not quite. Correctly it goes: mea culpa, mea culpa, mea máxima culpa.

Only if I was ecclesiastically inclined. And at Mass.
