I resolved the problem and InDesign is working again, as well as the rest of the Creative Suite. However I did not do the third install. Because I was also having some issues with a few folders that did not have the right permissions, I decided to go with the other user account where InDesign worked and there were no permissions issues on the drive. I did not use the migration tool this time -- I just moved the files I needed from one user to the other or reset system preferences. It is so easy to switch between users now that I'm not too worried about any little things that I may have missed -- I will just keep the old user for a little while until I'm convinced everything I need is there. The old migrated user account had a lot of "junk" in it, so this should work out better anyway, and I learned a lot about using Mavericks in the process. Now back to work!
Thank you for your kind responses. I'm glad to know that this community is here.
