    I would say that the file is corrupted as InDesign on a Mac will open a PC InDesign file being that they are made using the same application. Does it say why it can't open the file?

    You may find that it could be a font issue. Have you got images in the file?

    Was it saved as a .indd file or .ind file?

    Were the fonts embeded in the file?

    Source(s): I have CS3 for Mac.

    It is unlikely that you'll be able to open a Mac InDesign CS2 file in your PC InDesign CS1. But documents that were made the CS version of InDesign should open in CS2.
