how to open a pagemaker 6.5 file in InDesign 2022

Hi, I do have some old files are using PageMaker 6.5. I try to use InDesign 2022 to open it, seems not working. May I know any option to open the file and save the text.

Hello @tol38118315,

 

Indesign CC does not support PageMaker documents, PageMaker files can only be opened in Indesign CS6 or earlier versions.

 

Regards,

Mike

There are a few of us here who can do the conversion for you (myself included), if you get really stuck.

Hi, 

Thank you for your message. I found one of my friend who had CS6 in her old PC and can convert the files for me.
