Missing Links in PageMaker converted InDesign docs.

When I convert a document to InDesign CS from PageMaker 6.5, I am given a message that tells me links are missing, and that I can go back to PageMaker and fix broken links, or open anyway.
Can anyone tell me how to get Indesign to automatically find the linked graphics? I'm sure that the Adobe people didn't offer a conversion without making sure that links would be up to date...

Thank You

The option that it does not mention is that you can still re-link within InDesign. Ignore the 2 options it offers, continue to open in InDesign and then relink. If all of the linked images reside in the same directory, you can select all items in the links palette and choose 'update'.

Most often, this message comes up when you have a PageMaker document with embedded images instead of links.
