Indesign CS2 plug in problem 2

[maccwall]

I do so hate Indesign but since I have clients that use it I have no choice. The newest problem for me is one of plug ins. I am now receiving an error message when I try to launch the application that say s this... " Cannot load RunIn Styles Panel. framework because it requires Paragraph Panel. Please install the Paragraph Panel plug-in and restar Indesign". Well Oddly enough both of the plug ins are in the plug ins folder. I have reloaded the software, tried to copy others plug in folders to mine, copied the application itself from anothers machine, have searched the interent trying to find this damned plug in and in the processes have become so frustrated i've given up and want to tell Adobe what they can do with Indesign. If anyone has any solutions to this please let me know. I'm not sure if I would be appreciative because it would cause me to continue to have to work in Indesign but thanks for all help given.

Peace,
Todd

Both of those should be in the Text plugins folder.

It's not always a good idea to copy Adobe programs, or sub folders between machines since the install process, from cd, creates the proper paths on the machine.

My suggestion would be to quit ID, find and trash ID Preferences (I'm guessing you're on a pc and I use Mac). Relaunch and see if it loads. If not, quit out, trash the ID folder and the ID prefs again. Then reinstall from the cd.

If you reinstall MAKE SURE that any antivirus/security software is NOT running - as you should do when installing any software from cd.

If you prefer Quark and can save to 4, you could send them Q4 files which will open in ID. Or you could do your work in Quark, save in 4, open in ID and save that. However, if they make changes, you won't be able to open them in Quark.

Thanks jmgalvin.

I do work on a Mac...OS10.3.9. I had just fgured that i hadn't trashed the prefs, when you posted this. Trashing the prefs did not work so I decided to just drag the 4.0 folder in the prefs folder onto the desktop and restart ID. BINGO... it worked so I just trashed the 4.0 folder since it has been since rewritten. Thanks for the help.

Peace,
