We're using InDesign CS2 and want to switch to CS3 or CS4 (I think it's available). Apparently NewsEdit is not compatible with CS3 and we were told they have no plans in the future to make it compatible. So we thought if we have to buy a different program, we may as well stick with Adobe.

By resizing, I do mean changing the size of the text frame. When I place an InCopy file in InDesign and try to drag on one of the points to enlarge the box I get the error "You must check out contents of this frame in order to make changes." This applies to photos and cutlines also. Is this because I'm using Anchored Text Boxes? The files I place in InDesign consist of 3 boxes � the master text frame, the anchored box that contains the headline and the anchored box that contains the story. The master text frame is the only one I can resize, but of course that doesn't matter.

Again, is there another way to have 2 text boxes in an InCopy document? If not, as I stated before, we would have to place the story, draw another text box and cut and paste the headline into it. I'm trying to make things as simple and easy as I can for both the reporters and the designers.

Thanks again for your answers and suggestions.
