    dude. indesign can handle vectors like illustrator can. they're like cousins, so to speak.

    if you copy and paste a vector from Illustrator into Indesign, it will handle it like Illustrator does (ie: a vector shape and not a "picture".

    If you're looking to handle it like a "picture" you can do a number of things:

    1) once it's pasted into the Indesign document, put a shape on top of it and "mask" it so you can hide parts of it and treat it like it's a photo and not a logo/vector illustration. OR alternatively, draw a picture box and PASTE your vector INTO it.... (command + option + E)

    2) save it as an .ai file and "place" it.

    hope that helps. let us know.
