InCopy

Hi my Incopy crushed and all work lost. I don't understand how the file that was saved few hours ago, content has disappeared after crushing?Please help

I downloaded the InCopy 2014 version I need for a client project, but had to uninstall because it was not running correctly. I went to reinstall and it's no longer in the Creative Cloud list. How do I get it again?

Hello,I recently made changes to a file and saved it. Then I try to open it again and got this message: Cannot open file "". Adobe InCopy may not support the file format, a plug-in that supports the file format may be missing, or the file may be open in another application. I thought it might be open elsewhere, so I made a copy file and still can't open that (with name change). There are no hidden files anywhere in the folder. Can anyone help? I cannot spend more time on it as it's a time urgent project!

I use InCopy CC in a remote location on a PC with Windows 10, and the packages I receive are downloaded to the Documents folder under This PC. I would prefer to download them to Documents under OneDrive, for backup and accessibility. Is there a way to change the default location? I found a discussion about this from 2008 - can they really not have fixed this 10 years later?

Does Adobe InCopy CS5.5 will compatible with InDesign CC. My client only has InCopy CS5.5 and will not ready to upgrade. I have only InDesign CS6 and InDesign CC. Would it possible to work InCopy 5.5 workflow with InDesign CC?I’d be really grateful for your advice - thanks!Sanjay

Hello everyone,We work in a Mathematics document, and of course we have some Mathtype... So we are able to modify the Mathtype in InCopy, but when we do changes, its scale the image (reduce image). So, we need to put it back at 100%. I don't see anywhere a menu in InCopy to scale at 100% the Mathtype... unless the designer need to pass all over the document to put back the Mathtype at 100% in InDesing... Is anybody can help?Thaks!

I have a few editors experiencing the same problem on InCopy, when editing in layout view. When they open the assignment, the text is shown only in the first frame with the + icon in the bottom right corner. The text should fill the other two columns as well. If I look at the InDesign document, all text frames are part of the assignment and the text is showing properly in the three columns. Any way to fix this issue?

When I import an InCopy document into InDesign, sometimes it shows up in the assignments panel with the file name ("City Hall"), but sometimes it shows up with the InCopy template name ("1 Col Story") from which it was created.It's not ideal, more irritating than anything else, but I'm not sure how to fix it or tell others how to fix it...Ideas??

Can I edit mathematical formulas as fractions, integrals, powers, functions, etc. in this program?Everything with which I met before, breaks the mathematical equations into different lines. As a result, when I try to save in .fb2 format for an e-book, the text loses its entire structure.Will another file format help in solving the problem? Or is this program does not designed to work with the technical focus of literature?

I have been working on a large project with my team. It is in the final phases of edits. Now the InCopy users (myself and one other) can't open the indd document without it immediately crashing. I use a Mac and my colleague uses a PC. We both are experiencing the same issue with it crashing. Our in-house tech support suggested updated the InCopy software to the 2018 version, but I am experiencing the same issue. We are on a deadline and this issue is making it difficult to move forward. Our designer is having no problem opening and editing this file in InDesign.

Hello good folks! I'm a new InCopy user and when I try to open an InDesign file saved to a DropBox, I get the following error message: Simple, right? Well I'm using Adobe Creative Cloud and it's all updated. When I click open the "versions" tab of InCopy, only versions 12 and earlier are available. We opened the same Creative Cloud account on a co-workers machine and did not get the same error message, so it's something to do with my machine. I've got a 2013 MB Air that is all up to date. I am getting a little low on memory, but I'm not getting any error messages related to storage or things being out of date... Any ideas about how to resolve? Thanks!

I have a basic question regarding the flow of revisions for an InCopy article that has been placed in an InDesign document. We are a retail cataloger and are considering using InCopy to create a copy database of product copy that can be placed in InDesign layouts allowing a designer to work on changes to the layout at the same time a writer is working on changes to the product copy.There are two problems we see with this scenario - 1) if we place that same InCopy article in multiple InDesign layouts, but change the formatting in only one of the layout - does that formatting change affect all occurrences of that InCopy article? and, 2) if we make changes to that copy article within the InDesign layout, does that change get pushed out to the InCopy article or do we need to make the change in the InCopy article and push it out to the InDesign layout? Is the flow unidirectional or bidirectional?Sorry for the poor sentence structure - I'm a Production person, not a copy person. Is anyone el

I am fairly new to InCopy, so I apologize if this is a stupid question. Is there a way for me to set styles to be used in new documents? For example, say in document one, I have set up different paragraph styles (say, header 1, header 2, lists, etc), and want to use those in new documents going forward. While I am aware that you can import styles used in specific documents, is there a way for me to have those styles imported for new documents? In MS Word, for example, you can set styles to be "default", so when you boot up a fresh document, you are all set to go with your heading styles, paragraphs, etc. Any advice on how to accomplish this, if possible? Thanks in advance!

hi there. I'm new to the forum and the product. I'm using it for a project through a vendor. It's great...except when I try to use the note tool. It lets me start writing one, but then I can't go back to any other tool and it just tells me it's stopped working and send reports to Microsoft. I'm using Windows 10. I'm at a loss and if I don't get this solved, I'll lose my ever-loving mind. Anyone have any experience or ideas? This is the only time it crashes. Thank you!!!!!

I'm new to InCopy and I'm considering making it part of our workflow. However, the layout view doesn't seem to work.We would use it for novels, that have trim dimensions of 5.5" x 8.25". However, in the layout view, the dimensions are always standard letter size, 8.5" x 11". Also, recto and versos don't match. I've tried re-saving as IDML and still have the same issue.See below.InDesign view (correct):InCopy view (incorrect):It's really not even close. Any help would be appreciated!

We have a brand new install of InCopy CC2017 which you cannot change the dictionary from the default US english.We change the Dictionary in the Preferences1) Go to Edit -> Preferences -> Dictionary and change language to English:UK2) Go to Edit -> Preferences -> Autocorrect set the Auto correct to English: UK3) Open a new blank document and type in Colour and Color and run the spell check Colour is picked up as the) When you press Ctrl + I to run a manual spell check the Dictionary still shows the language as English: US5) Tried resetting the preferences for InCopy and resetting the spell check settings and still get the same issue.

We are current using InDesign CC and InCopy 13.0.1. We are able to open ICML and Indd files but not ICMA files. When we double click the file, or open through File>Open, InCopy launches but no window opens. I have read many threads and tried everything that I could find, please advise.

We use InCopy in combination with the Plug-In censhare. After we upgraded to InCopy CC 2017 we cannot use InCopy under Windows 10 anymore because it keeps crashing. The company behind the Plug-In censhare says that there ist a developer Version 12.1.1 build 100 which fixes this error.Could you please tell me, when you will release this fix to the users?Best regardsChristoph MäurerInstitut der deutschen Wirtschaft Medien GmbH

Recently we finished a production of a catalogue for a hotel-chain. Till this year we totally made this in Indesign ourselves, but now we worked with the combination Indesign/Incopy. The client put all the texts (body text, adresses, offers etc) in Incopy, we put the images and charts into the pages.(And completley made all advertisement pages and extraordinary pages) We worked via Google Drive. We made a basic template for 3 languages in which the client could put their texts. This worked well but when we synchronized the pages and made a PDF of the entire document some strange things occur. So one hotel had the textes from another hotel (but in in thje Incopy version of the client the correct text was standing)And the pages have a small title at the top of the page (like a header). i.e. Belgium, The Netherlands, Sweden etc. By some pages the wrong 'header' appeared in the PDF (i.e. Belgium instead of Sweden. (again in Incopy it was OK) Any idea how this could happen. In our studio th

Like many, I originally was thrilled to see that Adobe finally implemented endnotes within Indesign. Unfortunately, this has made me jump through hoops in order to work with endnotes since we use Incopy heavily in our workflow. Is there any timeline for endnote support for Incopy? If not, is there anyway I can convert endnotes to plain text in order to export for Incopy? Thanks for any help.

Leider funktioniert das Umfließen von Bildern in InCopy mal wieder nicht. Den Bug gabe es schon mal. Damit macht das Texten in InCopy keinen Sinn mehr.Gibt es eine kurzfristige Lösung, oder kann nur Adobe das lösen?f

I need to create a text macro that includes a hyperlink.Macros with hyperlinks only work the first time you create them, in the original file that you used to create the macro.​ In other words, when I enter the text that I want to be the macro in an InCopy file and place the macro in that file, the hyperlink is embedded correctly. But if you create a new file, and then try to use that macro, the link becomes incorrect. When you insert the macro into a new file, Instead of linked text correctly linking to, for example, http://adobe.com, it will try to link to InCopy TextMacroshttp://adobe.com and the link won’t work. You can see the problem if you hover over the link in the hyperlinks panel.Is there any way around this? I'm using InCopy CC 2015, but I also checked it in InCopy 2017 and it was the same.

Hello there. I just downloaded a trial version and can't seem to edit text. What are the limitations of the trial version? Thanks a bunch for your time!

Trying to diagnose problems with InCopy. Work for small publishing co. with about 6 people in team - proofer, editors, designers. One designer's computer was recently wiped and all Adobe CC 2017 programs were reinstalled. Since that time, had many probs with InCopy files not opening and crashing program. The machine was upgraded to MacOS High Sierra, where the rest of the team is still on the original Sierra. Could this be the culprit? Don't have any other ideas as to why problems keep[ happening.Thanks.
