Opening and closing documents
In general, you open and close document and template files the same way you do in other
programs. When you open an InDesign template, it opens as a new, untitled document
by default. In Windows, document files use the extension .indd, template files use the
extension .indt, library files use the extension .indl, and book files use the extension .indb.

"Creating a book file" on page
