.RPLN issues with CS5.5 Indesign

I recently re downloaded  my Creative Suite 5.5 to make a small change to an indesign file.  However whenever I try to open the file, it gives me the "Cannot open file" and then a bunch of issues with .RPLN on the end... It's asking me to upgrade to the plug-ins to latest version but I all I need to do is make a couple text edits.  The only plugs ins I have are the ones that were downloaded when I installed the creative suite.  Is there a quick fix or will I need to purchase an newer version?  Will anew version be able to open the file?

Is CS5.5 fully updated? IIRC, the final update to CS5.5 added the alert that the file was created with a later version of InDesign.

You could download the free trial version of InDesign CC2019 – it works for seven days – to make your corrections  (hopefully!)

Any newer version of InDesign will be able to open a CS5.5 file. Also, be aware that CS5.5 is not supported for any Mac OS after Yosemite (10.10) or for Windows 10. If you have upgraded to a newer operating system since the last time you used CS5.5 then that is probably what is causing your problem.

To come back to your original question, the file was probably made with a new version. I say this because the messages you usually get are about plug-ins. No version of InDesign will open files from the future (from newer versions).

InDesign is now subscription only.
