    I just went from a MACBook Pro Mid 2012, 2.6 GHz Intel Copre i7, 16GB1600 MHz DDR3 memory...

    To a 2017 MACBook Pro, 3.1 GHz Intel Core i7, 16 GB 2133 MHz LPDDR3

    Two days ago I created a simple InDesign file at my home office—no links, just a couple of simple vector logos from Illustrator.

    Yesterday at work I threw the packaged folder on my network. I then went to open it and it read that the file was corrected.

    So I fired up my old laptop and opened the file with no problems.

    Also, yesterday I opened a A7 envelope created in InDesign a few months ago (also on the server) to merge the addresses with a new data source. The file also has no links, just a simple vector logo. I replaced the .TXT file and hit merge and the dreaded "Bad Placeholders" message came up. Fortunately the database was small so I went through it with a fine comb nothing wrong with it. I then created a brand new file, set the mapping files and the merge went fine, no problems.

    I then went back to try to get the old one to work by saving the file as a "Save As," deleting the text box and creating a new one, deleting and relinking the data source, etc.. Never could get it to work. I did not try to save it to the desktop. I will try that later.

    Any thoughts?
