CS3 Metadata/Caption problem

I just have begun using CS3 and have found that when writing captions in Bridge they will only show up on CS3 and after filing discovered that not one caption arrived with the pics in NY.
Does anyone know what this is about and if fixable?

thanks

Thank you for contacting Adobe® Web Support for assistance with Adobe

I understand that you are able to apply captions and other metadata in
Bridge, but when you view the files in other programs this information
appears empty.

We have released updates to Adobe Bridge CS3, and these affect the way
that metadata is stored and interpreted. You can choose the
‘Help->Updates’ menu option in Photoshop or visit the following
page to download and install the update manually:

Lot’s of issues with captioning in Bridge. Use a specialised app like Photomechanic.

hey hon –
so following on from our IM…and for those who also having same problem – I found that if you caption in CS3 Bridge you then have to open all files again in photoshop and Save As – either by overwriting original files or into a new folder – the captions can then be read after you file.
bit of a hassle but it works.
