      Hey all,

      I’m having to do a project as part of an interview process for a potential employer. They told me they would send an InDesign template for the layout. They originally sent me an InD file that was created after my version (CS6) so I then had to email and request a new file. They sent me a .idml file and I’m having issues with it. Since I already contacted with an issue once, I’d like to avoid it again or at least be 100% sure it’s something on their end.

      I opened the files in Google Drive and saw the list of file components. Master Spreads, XML, etc. I downloaded and then open in InDesign. Upon opening it tells me there’s a missing link, an illustrator file, which they also provided and I have save. Regardless whether or not that file is linked, it’s opening as a blank file title ‘Untitled-1’, and not the name of the file that was in Google Drive.

      Any ideas?

      There are a couple of reasons.

      1) When you open any template, it will be untitled.

      2) When you open an .idml file, it will also be untitled.

      This is normal. When you save the file you can name it (I would call it something else so you don’t overwrite the original file).

      Are all the master pages there?
