Inspiration 10 can open files created using Inspiration 6 and later. When you open a file created in Inspiration version 6:

Miscellaneous thoughts appear at the same level as the main idea.

Symbols not available in Inspiration 10 are converted to external graphics.

Link formatting options not available in Inspiration 10 are converted to options that are available in Inspiration 10.

A document saved in Notes List View opens in Outline View.

If the file contains child documents, continue with these steps:

3.Click OK when you see this message:

"This document contains child documents. To work with this version of Inspiration, these children must be converted to hyperlinked files."

Inspiration creates a new folder in the location of the original document.

4.In the Save into folder box, type a name for the folder.

5.Click Save.

Inspiration creates the new folder containing a copy of the original document and a folder containing a copy of each hyperlinked file (child document). Child documents without names are automatically named "Child1," "Child2," and so on. In the document, each symbol or topic with a child document now has a hyperlink to the appropriate file.
