InCopy

Hello Community, When placing an InCopy ICML into Indesign that has cross references, they are not working. In user manuals, for example, our Device operation section has a lot of "For more information see “"Maintenance” on page 149" with a cross-reference that works beautifully in InDesign. But my Device operation section is the exact same in multiple manuals, lets say M1, M2 and M3, so we decided to link the text with InCopy; however the Maintenance section it makes a reference to is not on the same page on M1 than it is on M2 or M3. So when I place the same IMCL into M1, M2 and M3, my cross reference appears as <?>.Does anybody know if there is a way to have the correct cross-reference shown correctly in each manual with little or none manual modification?(Using InCopy2020 and InDesign2020 on Windows) Thank you.

I am working on a big project with several authors. These authors enter the text via inCopy. Yesterday I open the inDesign document and notice that a text frame suddenly shows no content. I open the inCopy link and it is empty. There is absolutely no text left. The inCopy file was last edited one month before.Has anyone ever experienced something like this? If I hadn't made a backup, the content would have been deleted forever. I am grateful for any advice. 

I was hoping someone could point me in the direction of a helpful, ideally free, tutorial on using InCopy — whether that be via video or writing. I apologize if something similar has already been posted here. Thanks!

Is there an option to block or unblock sticky notes in InCopy? One of our user is saying that he cant copy the text/ comments in the sticky notes in the article made by the translator? i thought that the translator might have locked the comments to be copied. Thanks in advance for your reply.

Hello, does anyone know how to Globally convert a text character to a glyph in InDesign? I know how to replace a text with a glyph but I am looking to replace all in a document. The helvetica font I am using uses straight quotation marks but I am looking to convert the straight quotes with curved quotes. In Find/Replace it gives an option for this but it changes the font. I am looking to only replace the character with a glyph globally. 

How do you resolve the error "Invalid operation (S1019)" ?Thank you.

Buenos días, es mi primer mensaje. Hacemos varias revistas en inDesign, utilizando incopy para que los redactores corrijan en asignaciones. Con algunas revistas tenemos desajustes importantes habitualmente. Se mueven los contenidos de las página maqueta, también las cajas de texto, las imágenes, y hace inutil la vista de diseño.  Trabajamos con archivos origen .indd, asignando y obteniendo .icma para los redactores. ¿tenéis idea de por qué se da este problema en algunas revistas? Un saludo  

My coworker is using Incopy to edit the text in my InDesign file. I recently updated InDesign and now she is getting this message: "Cannot open XXXX because saved with a newer version...". My first instinct was to have her update her InCopy, however even after updating her InCopy she is still receiving this message. What is the solution? 

So I have set up my first incopy/indesign workflow. I have exported my text layers only to incopy. Everything links just fine, but because some of my content lives on a coloured background, the text in incopy is displayed white in layout view. Is there a way I can add a background or change the text colour just on incopy so my copy writer can read all the text?

I'm having an issue with InCopy 2020 where I'm seeing other users' tracked changes in Story view show up in my tracking color. Is anyone else having this problem? Any tips on how to fix it?

I work on a daily newspaper and our copy desk uses InCopy (CC 2017). As the design editor, I maintain the InDesign (CC2017) file to which the InCopy assignment are linked and our copy editors update the assignments in InCopy. Occasionally, after an assignment has been updated in a layout file with another or multiple assignments, the update icon will appear on one of the another assignments, which then reverts it back to the original version, eliminating any recent changes. This weird glitch is not because someone has accidentally checked out that assignment — in fact it seems to happen randomly. Does anyone know why this keeps happening and how I can rectify this?

I'm stuck with InCopy 2017 and InDesign 2018 due to the age of my mac. The author I work with just updated all his Adobe software with the latest.Can we work with two different releases or will he need to use 2017 as well?Thanks in advance!

It’s Adobe MAX time and here you have InCopy 15.0!     The latest release of Adobe InCopy includes several new features and enhancements. Click here to check the new features.

Hallo zusammen,wir haben Probleme mit einer Fehlerhaften Darstellung in InCopy.Der Fehler tritt häufiger auf sobald Bilderrahmen im InDesign gedreht werden.Der Text ist dann in der InCopy Aufgabe komplett verschoben. Wenn man allerdings die *.indd im InCopy öffnet ist die Ansicht korrekt. Kann etwas im InCopy eingestellt werden damit die Ansicht korrekt ist oder handelt es sie hierbei um einen Bug? Hello, everybody,we have problems with a faulty display in InCopy.The error occurs when picture frames are rotated in InDesign.The text is then completely shifted in the InCopy task. But if you open the *.indd in InCopy the view is correct. Can something be set in InCopy so that the view is correct or is it a bug?  Schöne GrüßeMS@WD

InCopy's command bar is not showing any of the controls/buttons. I have tried everything. Removing/readding it, etc. I have found other people online with the same issue, but no solutions except people saying "Window > Command Bar" which is not the solution. The Command bar IS active. It is just blank. Anyone have a way to fix this?

Opening a Package in InCopy from different clients (that added a Layer to a Assignment) or the .icma file results in many "Object is Locked" messages and after that InCopy crashes.We can repeat this over and over with different documents.Nothing is locked, no Layer is Locked.Thought I ask here as it is hell today for us..Any thoughts??? InDesign/InCopy CC 2019, latest updatesMas OS X Mojave

Hi gang, When you export text from InCopy .icml files, AND the text has embedded NOTES within it; do the notes survive an export to RTF? Do embedded NOTES become RTF comments/annotations? Will the notes be in the RTF file when opened in Word? My test suggests not; but maybe I'm doing it wrong!  

PROJECT: A 300+ page book that has a few images/graphics but is mostly text.SYSTEM: We are all using CC versions of InDesign and InCopy (latest) All are on PC.USE CASE: I am designer. I laid out the book chapters as separate stories because (a) the book is extensively referenced and we wanted to use chapter-based endnotes, and (b) so the author and editor could both work on sections of the book at the same time. Both of the below issues happen from local files on my own computer and are not related to sharing. ISSUE #1 - One story, the "Intro", has no graphics or image inserts, but does have endnotes. Worked fine for a while but then it began throwing error when we try to check-out this story, InCopy indicating that there is a linked file which has not been added (and must be) to the Assignment. There is no drama when checking-out in InDesign. I have tried removing the Assignment, then removing the link-files, then deleting the content files from the folder and rebuilding assignme

Preciso diagramar uma revista em conjunto com duas jornalistas e acredito que o Incopy seja a melhor ferramenta... conturdo não tenho nenhuma experiênica... Basicamente eu gostaria de saber como eu exporto do Indesign para uma outra pessoa poder editar no Incopy e depois linkar e atualizar os dois arquivos!!

Hi Adobe Support, In InCopy's Galley mode, when I have "Show Changes" on, some of the lines of the copy will break into another line when there isn't a real line break in the document. When Hide Changes is on, it previews fine. Why does InCopy preview a break here? Please see the image below.   Thanks, Roland 

The layout includes a colored footer at the bottom of the page. When I add text using an assignment in InCopy, the text overflows onto the colored footer. Am I able to scale the text box so this doesn't happen? Or does my designer need to do that using InDesign and then send me an updated assignment?

Has the layout mode feature changed in InCopy? When I open an assignment file in InCopy and go to Layout mode a one column page of text appears. No layout like I'm used to. Is this a bug? This is happening on all files and across multiple people in the department.

Hallo zusammen, wir sind gerade dabei inCopy in unseren Workflow zu integrieren. Bei der ersten Benutzung/Betrachtung ist aufgefallen das bisher auch der Redakteur Änderungen in der Erscheinung des Textes vornehmen kann (künstliche Umbrüche/Absatzformate ändern/etc.) Gibt es eine Möglichkeit den Redakteur in irgendeiner Form einzuschränken? Plug-Ins? Es gibt wohl auch die Möglichkeit anhand eines Plug-In den Status eines Layouts in Form von unterschiedlicher Farben und Angaben einsehen zu können. Kennt einer vielleicht das gemeinte Plug-In um den Workflow zu vereinfachen/zu verbessern? Ich freue mich von euch zu hören!Vielen Dank

For the life of me, I can't figure out why InCopy keeps un-ticking my Use Typographer's Quotes box in Preferences/Type every single time I reopen a file! Can anyone help me? I'm not turning it off with a shortcut, or any other weird thing. It just shuts off by itself.

My designer has InDesign CS6.  I'd like to install a compatible version of InCopy on my Windows 7 64 bit PC in order to continue working with her.  Can someone tell me how I can get hold of this version of InCopy?  Thanks!
