Hi

I'm in the process of transitioning away from PageMaker 6.5 on OS 9.1 to InDesign on X (yeah!). I have one final project that I need to finish off but I keep running into this error

Internal error: Bad Table Index

This error prevents me from opening the different versions of the file that I create.

Here is my workflow:

I start the file by placing Word docs. I save it as v1. Add some more Word docs, save as v2. Add, save as v3, and so on. When I quit and try to open a previous version, v3, I get the error message. v2 will open fine. If I try to recreate the file starting at v2 but adding in different Word docs, it may or may not be OK. There is no consistency in when the error occurs. I'm not sure if the problem is with PM, Word or the graphics.

This error occurs on 3 different machines running OS 9.1 (9650 w/ G3, Lombard, B&W G3). I tried to open the file in InDesign 2 (with all updates) in OS X.2 but it crashes InDesign

Has anyone run into this problem? IS there a quick fix? Suggestions?

Thanks
