Missing Plug-ins LILO.APLN and CELLSTYLES.RPLN
Error:
The document “document_name.indd” uses one or more plug-ins which are not currently available on your system. Do you want to open anyway?
This happens when you try opening an InDesign CS3 document in InDesign CS2.
The plug-ins referenced with this error are “Lilo.apln” and “CellStyles.rpln”.
This error window is followed by a second one:
Cannot Open File
Cannot open “document_name.indd”. Please upgrade your plug-ins to their latest versions, or upgrade to the latest version of Adobe InDesign.
Solution:
Have the creator of the document export the file to the InDesign Interchange (.inx) format. If you are running InDesign 4.05 (the most updated version of InDesign CS2) you should now be able to open the file.
The indd format is not backwards compatible but the .inx format is. Exporting to .inx converts the document to XML, strips out plug-in data, allows you to open the document in a past version and converts itself back to a .indd once opened.

Thanks a lot, ive been scratching my head all day about this, even had 135mb of updates downloaded, and it didnt fix it.
One question though, why when i brought up the file info did it tell me it was an indesign CS2 file? thats what baffled me?
Cheers for the help Jaymz

Hey,
You don’t know how much you saved me!!!!
I have a project due tomorrow and I’ve been working in CS2 all this time, but I was rendering in Maya so I went to work on a different one on my InDesign with CS3 on it. Like always I just saw there’s a problem at 11pm. Barely made it to save a copy in the .inx format.
THANKS!!!!!

I’m running InDesign 4.05, the creator saved the file as .inx but I still can’t open it. What am I missing?

I’m having the same problem. Everyone says saving as .inx allows the file to open in CS2 but that is not the case. From what I can tell, that stupid plug in is a LINUX/PC plug-in. Saving as .inx will allow mac to PC transfer, but apparently not the other way around. This is a HUGE bug that Adobe needs to fix, considering most inDesign and graphics people are mac platform. Someone is asleep at the wheel.
