I, too, am talking about OvPro for Windows (aka OPW). But an Impression

I'm using for importing an Impression document into OPW ... note the bc5
extension.


Dave was originally describing trying to load an Impression /folder/:


Mr P. I cannot get this to work. I have an Impression publisher doc
folder called "!Sample" and nothing I seem to do will load it into
WinOvPro version 2.92 5th March 2008
You describe an Impression document with a ,bc5 extension. I've just looked out an Impression folder (took a while because it's been ages since I used this format!) and it did indeed fail to load into an OPW window, giving the error message "Error number 1".
But Impression /documents/ with an extension of ,bc5 load quite happily into an OPW window here (version 2.92, 15 March 2008).
You're quite right ... Dave did refer to an Impression *folder*. However, I'm not sure what the difference is between what you/Dave refer to as a "folder" and what I call a "document" ... ISTR that at some stage CC changed the file format, so that it had the characteristics of a "folder", tho' I may be talking complete pants. FWIW, all my Impression "files" will load into OPW, and some of them are quite complex "documents".
