Does InDesign CS2 work with Snow Leopard

I know, I know, I should be using CS4 but a client insists on sticking with CS2 and files made in newer versions aren't compatible with CS2.

So, can anyone tell me if InDesign CS2 will work with Snow Leopard? It's only InDesign I'm worried about - I have current versions of Photoshop etc.

Thanks

I am having the same problems. I just got a used iMac running Snow Leopard. I installed CS2 on it. I am have problems with disappearing text when I make changes to it. If a voom in/out the text returns, so it is really there, but you can't see it. The biggest problem I am having is with copying from Illustrator into ID2, ID2 crashes. I had no problem when I was running on my old iMac with MAC OS X Tiger. The only way around it is to make the Ill its own ai file and place it.
This is so time consuming when alot of my stuff is created in Illustrator.

Yes, indeed. I'm having exactly the problems you're describing. Exactly. On Snow Leopard with CS2 installed. I'd love to just upgrade to CS4 or 5 but the funds ain't there now, y'know.

Thanks to you I now know that the text isn't actually disappearing. Zooming in/out sometimes restores it; sometimes I have to click inside the text block with the text tool. But at least I know now that it's nothing more dire than a visibility bug. So thanks.

As far as the copy/paste crash goes, unless it's an exceedingly simply vector shape it happens to me EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. InDesign hangs for a bit - giving me the spinning beach ball cursor - and then disappears. Since placing ai files works, I'm learning to live with that little inconvenience.

The only answer that gets proposed in any forum in which I bring this stuff up is to upgrade my Creative Suite. The general consensus seems to be that that's the only way to be reliably rid of these hassles.
