If you have some (hopefully small) document you simply must load into 1.3.3.14 from 1.3.5+, you can try (from 1.3.5+) saving items in the Scrapbook, then bringing them from there into 1.3.3.14 -- not guaranteed to work. You may also find the precise placement of text in text frames is shifted. Greg
