Think you have missed the point (above) Peter (2) - they will not load into Impression. The first question is - are they actually Impression files or are they Style or Junior? I thought newer versions of Impression were backwardly compatible and would load documents of earlier versions. I have a hazy recollection from many, many years ago when I used Impression that it once or twice gave a similar not very helpful error message when the document was actually corrupted in some way.
