Hi Gita

You have probably dealt with this problem by now but I thought I'd
answer in any case.

If the project was packaged using InDesign then all the files should
be there, including fonts.  If you look at the disk you were given
(this is an assumption) you should find the original InDesign file
(.indd), a fonts folder containing the fonts, and all the graphics
either in a separate folder or along with the InDesign file. If the
images and fonts aren't there then the file was never packaged and you
may have a big problem.

Fonts are the easiest. As long as the same fonts are available on the
machine on which you are trying to open the file, everything may be
OK. You still need to check carefully because if the fonts come from a
different foundry (even though they may have the same name) there may
be reflow problems that need to be dealt with. Fonts don't embed in
InDesign; they must be installed on the machine. Fonts do embed in a
PDF but the ability to edit text is limited.

Pictures are more difficult. If the original high resolution files
aren't available the only thing to do is resource and replace them in
the document.
