Hi all. I am very new to InDesign. I am trying to open/edit a PNG file directly in InDesign CC using the Edit Original command and I get an error message "No editor found for this link". I have checked that my PNG files are set to open with Paint by default. I get the same error if I use the Edit With... command and choose 'Paint' from the selection list that appears. Is there a way to fix this, or will it just never work? Very frustrating as I know this function worked flawlessly in FrameMaker.

Thank you.

Sounds like an operating system issue with file associations.

Ok, so how do I check or fix that? If I double click on a PNG file in Windows Explorer, it opens correctly????

Are you sure InDesign looks for mspaint executive in a correct location? Try Edit With... but instead choosing Paint from the list click Other.. and locate mspaint.exe manually. In Win7 64 bit the path is Windows > System32 > mspaint.exe. Is it the same executive you invoke from Explorer?
