What platform? Mac or PC? Does the file have the extension .p65?

If not, it likely needs it, but you have to be sure it truly is a PM6.5 file. You could try change it to .PMD (which is PageMaker 7's extension, as there's very little file structure difference between the two versions, but may trick ID to properly handle it.). If that still doesn't work, the file may be corrupt.

There are a few of us out there, myself included, that can work with PM files (so if it's just one, i can help you troubleshoot and get it to the ID world

Would it be possible for you to convert a .p65 file to a readable version? (InDesignCC or .pdf) I work for Yellowstone National Park and our archivist can only fine a digital copy of a business plan she needs for collections. Nothing I've tried has worked! I changed the file extension from .p65 to .pmd in order to get it attached below. At a complete loss!
