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.

Brad,

Are you able to convert a file from PM 6.5 to a PDF and or WORD for me?  

I do not have any software so it would be most helpful. If you are able, please dm me at  lauraftaylor2079@gmail.com

Brad,

I replied to your dm and it bounced back a msg, "Not able to send because your mailbox is full."
