InCopy

Wir arbeiten in einer Redaktion mit Adobe Indesign und Incopy. Ich gebe Textrahmen für die Redakteure via Indesign frei und die Redakteure füllen diese Rahmen mit Text. Leider verschwinden Änderungen, die die Redakteure gemacht haben, bei einer Aktualisierung von Text oder Layout ganz oder teilweise in unregelmäßigen Abständen und in vielleicht 5% der Fälle. Es gelingt mir auch nicht, den Fehler zu reproduzieren. Gibt es eine Idee für einen Lösungsansatz?

Recently switched from a Windows to Mac. Went to open an .indd file in InCopy (via Dropbox on desktop) that a co-worker prepared on his Mac, and the text is missing on most of the pages. When I go to check out one of the blank pages, I get the "Not a valid InDesign Interchange doucment" message.  The .indd file is not an online-only copy. I simply double-click it from the Mac Finder to open it in InCopy. Never had this issue when I was using a Windows and the same Dropbox account, files, etc.

In text that is right justified, sometimes the last line has very large spaces between the words. How to correct this?

can somone help please? in order to use a text macro the help function tells me to to go window/text macro etc but I do not have that option in my window menu.. any ideas anybody- would be very grateful to get a solution  

Does this exist yet? 

Hi everyone, I'm trying to log into InCopy 2021 using a Windows 10 (64 bits) and I get this error message: "Login failed. Invalid operation (S1019)" (see below and attached). I used InCopy yesterday with no trouble at all. Please let me know if you can help me out with this error. Thanks so much in advance! Best regards, 

Hello, I'm a graphic designer and I use it to make language versions of annual reports. I export the icml files to the translator and then make the graphic adjustments in Indesign.Here are some questions that remain a mystery to me:1- Sometimes the font used is changed on certain word groups when I update the assignments in Indesign.2- The number of words is important since the price of the translator depends on it. How can I avoid exporting blocks that are "lying around" on my work boards? (I find this counter intuitive as it goes against the experience of managing imports when assembling in Indesign).3- Because of the graphics and flowcharts, I always have a very high number of icml files (about 400 for example). But there are many empty files. Is there a method to not export empty blocks or to delete these files automatically?

I have an issue with handling multiple assignment elements.I can not drag more than one or two - not three or more - text objects into Incopy assignments from Indesign in one of my multipage work documents. Editing all stories assignments does not work either. It produces idml-files, but they are not shown in assignments.Quite annoying, if I have to drag two and two objects at a time. Other docs work well, so its a problem in one document. Does anybody have an idea what I can do to solve it?

Hello! I bought the InCopy 2023 version, but my employer is requesting I use the 2020 version, I have Windows 11 and a PC.Can anyone assist with this? Thank you! 

Both the designers and I have updated to 2023 InCopy and InDesign. And since then I've been unable to open the InCopy, icma, files. I'm getting this error message: Not a Valid InDesign Interchange Document. We are using a Dropbox online (not offline) workflow. Any suggestions? Thanks

Hi,I have applied 'Text Frame Auto Size - Height Only' as an Object Style to all the text boxes in my InDesign file. These do extend automatically when I update links in InDesign after the InCopy user has completed their amendments. However, I wondered is there a way for the text boxes to extend for the user within InCopy so they are able to see what the content looks like on the design? Many thanks for your help, Tom

Buenas tardes, soy nueva trabajando en InCopy y gustaria de saber como los editores pueden visualizar en InCopy de forma automática los documento de InDesign. Muchas Gracias

Hi! The editorial team I am a part of uses InCopy, and with the new 2023 version, we can't seem to set it as the default program for .INDD files. The 2023 version can still open .INDD files when the 2022 version isn't installed (in my case, I haven't uninstalled it on my computer yet, so .INDD files are opened by 2022 instead of 2023), but we can't set it as the default. Does anyone know if this is just a bug with the new release? I've been looking around the internet, but I can't seem to find any posts about it. I know we can work around it for now, but I'd like to make sure there's not something I'm overlooking. We work on Windows 10 PCs, in case that's relevant. Thanks!

I'm running a MacBook pro 2017 - That is an i7 quad-core with 16 Gb Ram plus Radeon Video card.  I have a 1Tb SSD driveI'm running the latest version of Incopy CCI have a file open that has about 26 pages mostly just text.  The text includes both Hebrew and English.I've set the settings of display for high performance (rather than quality)Incopy rendering of text, and simple things like TYPING!!!!! results in a pinwheel (beachball) every moment.  This is ridiculous.  I can't use it, because it is obstructing my workfllow.  Photoshop CC and lllustrator CC are 10 times faster.  For comparison, I can edit a 600 Mb illustrator file with no lag with no problems.  Incopy is horrendously slow.  What surprises me is that the developers don't check their software and see how it is used by actual professionals on the latest hardware.  I feel this product is antiquated when I use it.  This is a serious software flaw.  Incopy is not handling t

Hallo, meine Layouterin und ich wollen mit InDesign und InCopy arbeiten. Um es zu testen, hat Sie hat über Creative Cloud eine Datei für mich freigegeben. Ich kann die Datei mit InCopy öffnen, aber nicht auschecken, da sie per default schreibgeschützt ist. Ich kann zwar den Schreibschutz der Datei manuell über MacOS Finder aufheben, dann funktioniert das Auschecken und Einchecken, aber meine Änderungen werden über Creative Cloud nicht synchronisiert. Denn den Schreibschutz des freigegebenen Ordners im Stammverzeichnis von Creative Cloud (also die oberste Ebene) lässt sich nicht aufheben. Seltsam ist auch, dass der Ordner in den Ordner-Informationen nicht als gesperrt markiert ist. Ich hoffe ich habe mich verständlich ausgedrückt. Ich habe mal einen Screenshot angehängt. Ich habe nichts im Internet darüber gefunden... Was machen wir falsch bzw. wie können wir das Problem beheben?

We are training for designers in a publisher, and am encountering a persistent error: we package the file to incopy (icap), edit the file in inCopy and return it to inDesign (idap). Each one on your computer, in this exact order. When returning in inDesign and clicking on "open package" the error "The story" appears xxxx.icml "in the package is no longer part of the assignment." The history was not updated. How do I want to continue? After this error it is necessary to overwrite each of the icmls files one by one (inconvenient).The problem does not happen on my computer: but it happens on some users computers (students of my incompany training). What could be happening? Why only happens on some computers?@AnneMarie Concepcion help me!!!!

How do I copy tracked changes from one InCopy document to another?

Hi,The magazine for which I am art director (and designer and production... all of the creative) decided we need to use InCopy. We're rounding out our second issue using it, and InCopy is a mess (much due to my errors, I assume). What training did designers use to master InCopy? Our team watched an out-of-date LinkedIn video tutorial. All of the examples shown were incredibly simple—nothing like a page with multiple captions, pull quotes, graphs, body copy. Nothing that might have a caption added after an Assignment was created. Nothing that felt like real-world art direction. Somehow, I'm holding the bag and I am frustrated (understatement). Adobe provides little to no support. I've also heard that InCopy has the lowest customer satisfaction rating of any of their products (a staggeringly low number).1) Did anyone find a tutorial that felt cohesive and answered most questions?2) Is InCopy viable? Thanks for any advice! 

HiIs there a way to open an Incopy Assignment file (icma) and export/save concent as for all the icml files in the icma file to one Rich Text Format (rft) file?Hoping someone can answer my question.

I want to cancel InCopy but have been told I must pay a fee for cancelling before the end of my subscription period - but I can't find anywhere that tells me when this period will end! Does anyone know

Hi! I'm so bewildered and cannot figure out what to try next. I'm working off a shared Dropbox server, and when I go to open an icma file, none of the text is showing up. Each assignment has a yellow triangle with the exclamation point, and when I hover over it, it says "Text content is out of date." If I try to update the text, this message pops up: "This is not a valid InDesign interface document" I've updated Incopy, restarted my computer, tried turning off synching (and turning it back on) and making the file available offline. I'm on a mac as are my coworkers, who are able to access the assignments just fine. The lovely ppl at the design firm we work with have tried reassigning the files, but it hasn't helped. No one has the file checked out or anything. I'm able to see the rest of the file — images — in the layout view. Any help is GREATLY appreciated!I'm really not sure what else to do! 

Hi, I'm new to inCopy and can't seem to find a solution for this: The situation: I need to modify a project's text in inCopy files (.indd) while offline, during a very long flight.Context: The docs are all stored in DropBox.The ask: How do I check the document out, take my laptop offline, work on the document, and check it back in when I land?The worry: If I must download the files locally before working on them and a teammate checks the docs out while I'm offline, is there a way to avoid the risk of uploading conflicting documents from two team members?  Thanks! 

Hello! I'm new to InCopy, so this may be a simple and common problem some face. After placing some Word documents into InCopy, I'm getting this strange box with an x in it at the beginning of each line in the galley and story views. I've tried changing the font of those views, checking to see that I've stripped any remaining styles from Word, and formatting the Layout view with styles to rule out any overrides, but that strange box remains. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated!
