This is a new one for me, being a bit of a novice with InDesign I could use some advice.

I've been working on a 36 page brochure, saved it early in the week as usual.

Came back to it today but it wont open and I'm seeing the following error message:

''This filename may include one or more unrecognised characters. Please change the filename in Windows Explorer and try again.''

First off - the filename is words/numbers with no special characters at all, and secondly, what on earth do I do now?

The instruction seems simple enough but doesn't seem to work. Its a massive loss if I have to begin again.

I hope someone with more experience can shed some light on this please.

Sounds like something is corrupt. Try opening it as a copy.

If that doesn't work, it may be toast. This is why I always work in a Dropbox or OneDrive folder. These will keep versions every time you hit save.

If you want to post the file somewhere we can take a look and as see if someone else can open it. Barring that, you can try Markzware's file recovery service. If they can't save it, there's no charge. https://markzware.com/products/file-recovery-service/

That seemed to work thanks.

Must be something about the file path that InD doesn't like

Thanks all for your input - most helpful.
