[PrintOwners] InDesign Question

[Dennis Ewing]

If you did the custom install of the Suite (I'm not sure if it's the 
same in a typical install) you are given the chance to associate file 
types with Photoshop and DreamWeaver and AI. The list is populated based 
on whatever they wrote in Redmond, so anything MS will show up on the 
list and Adobe will be hit or miss. I am happy to walk anyone through 
making it work right if they want to give me a call.
