Converting InDesign 1.0 and 1.5 library files
Use the Asset Library Converter plug-in to convert InDesign 1.0 or 1.5 library files. The
converter lets you export libraries to a format that InDesign 2.0 can import and retain all
information contained in the original library file.
The Asset Library Converter requires InDesign 1.5.2. If you have InDesign 1.5 or 1.5.1, you
need to download the free update from the Adobe Web site at the following addresses:
(Windows) www.adobe.com/support/downloads/idwin.htm
(Mac OS) www.adobe.com/support/downloads/idmac.htm
To use the Asset Library Converter plug-in:
1 Exit InDesign 1.5.2.
2 On the InDesign 2.0 application CD, locate the Asset Library Converter plug-in, which is
located in the InDesign 1.5 Library Converter folder in the Goodies folder.
3 Move the Asset Library Converter plug-in to the Plug-ins > Filters folder in the InDesign
application folder.
Important: Be sure that you do not place the plug-in in the InDesign>Version 2.0 folder.
4 Restart InDesign 1.5.2 and choose Window > Libraries > Convert to Library Document,
and then double-click the library file you want to export.
5 When the Save As dialog box appears, specify a name for the exported version of the
library file, and then click OK.
6 Start or switch to InDesign 2.0, and choose Import Library Document in the Library
palette menu.
7 Locate and select the file you saved in InDesign 1.5.2, and click Open. By default the
only files listed are those saved by the Asset Library Converter.
8 When the Library dialog box appears, specify a name for the library, and then click Save.
Note: The library file is now saved to an InDesign 2.0 library and can be deleted from
InDesign 1.5.
Changing the object library display
The object library can display objects as thumbnail miniatures or as a text list. In addition,
you can sort the thumbnails or text list by object name, age, or type. The text-list view and
sorting options work best if you've cataloged the objects.
To change the object library display:
Do any of the following:
To view objects as thumbnails, choose Thumbnail View in the Object Library
•
palette menu.
To view objects as a text list, choose List View in the Object Library palette menu.
