- [Instructor] An InDesign document by itself…is fun to look at, but it's not very practical…out in the real world.…No, instead, you're going to want to print this puppy…or export it out as a PDF…so that other people can view it or print it.…No problem, but before we go there,…I've made a bunch of changes to this document,…so let's go ahead and save it.…To do that, I'll go to the File menu and choose Save As.…First, let's change the name.…I'm going to get rid of the word template,…and instead, I'm going to put v2 for version number two,…but before I click Save, I want to point out…that the Format pop-up menu lets me save this as a document,…a template, or this thing called…InDesign CS4 or later (IDML).…
Now, IDML is how you can save your file…back to earlier versions of InDesign.…Like, if you wanted to open this file up…in an old copy of InDesign CS6.…Older versions of InDesign can't open files created…in newer versions, but they can open IDML files,…so that's the workaround.…But in this case, we're just going to save this…
