Creator versus indesign

[lagasses]

1)
I know the ad builders used to complain when they had to work an ad in a 
quark file, because Multi-ad (We are still using 4.xxx) used to find 
missing photos or graphics on a server itself - and quickly - when we 
hit the find it button, whereas quark couldn't and made you go looking 
for it.
Does the new multi-ad still search ALL connected hard drives for missing 
photos/graphics and QUICKLY.

2)
And does InDesign search hard drives for missing photo/graphics or is it 
like the Old Quark (we use Quark 4 & 5).
As a side note:
I did download an xtension for Quark that searched connected hard drives 
for missing graphics, but it took almost an hour sometimes and you could 
see the xtension burying itself into the hard drive checking all folders 
and files. I finally threw it out because it was easier doing a search 
with the OS. Maybe the new Quark works better? Anybody know about that?


3)
Because we are still using Creator 4.1 in OS9, will the new Creator in 
OSX (which were also switching to - on intels) open the old creator 
files with no problems?


4) I assume the Matrix tool is still there?
Yes, when we have time, we will check out the creator site.

Thanks
