Questions

When I started attempting to work with my designers' InDesign files in InCopy, it gives an error that no stories were found, so I think my designers just don't use stories at all. Must they in order to work with me via InCopy?Screencap here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/am86by01tb2kpdv/Screenshot%202020-07-17%2010.31.01.png?dl=0 Thanks!

So everytime I open Incopy it gets worse. The panels on the left keep getting larger and there's no grab bar showing up to pull them back when. The toolbars on the top and bottom are now blank. I am running v 15.1 on a brand new machine. I did have the newest version installed originally but it was doing the same so I uninstalled and installed a previous version hoping it would be better. It was for a day. Anyone have this issue and know how to fix it?

When I open InCopy, my toolbars look like this:  No matter what I do, I cannot fix this:Issue presents in 2018, 19 and 20 on Windows 10;Resetting the workspace has no effect;Toggling different workspaces has no effect;Dragging toolbars works for some toolbars in single session but when I reopen InCopy, it's back to this;Trashing prefs works for the first open, but subsequent opens return to this;Uninstalling has no effect, it opens like this;Creating a new workspace and checking panel locations has no effect on restart;Snapping the window to top or side in Windows 10 has no effect;Adding and removing different size and resolution monitors has no impact; It really looks like the padding in each bar is set to something ridiculous. Does anyone have any ideas about this? Gratefully received!  

Hi everybody,I suspect that this is a trivial error, but we have been struggling with it for over a month. A remote editor was editing an InCopy document we had sent them, and one day, they started getting this error. "Unable to check out this file it may be in use by someone else" I am attaching a snap of the InCopy > Window > Assignments window. The editor also commented "When I right-click on a crossed paragraph, there are 4 possibilities : go to content; make it appear in the explorer; open the assembly; user. I tried all of them, it seems it does not go far. After clicking on 'go to content', there is the same message ( "impossible to extract the file, it is maybe used by someone else") when I tried to edit the text. I tried to change the user, but nothing worked." Any ideas?

Hi,When in story view I'm missing the bottom left box where you can adjust the font style, size and line spacing.I've tried right clicking the text (still in story view) while this does change the font style. But I can't then do the same when I try to change the font size.Any ideas?Thanks in advance.

Hello!I would like to ask you how to turn off this yellow background of styles in Layout View? I need to see only "dynamic spelling". Maybe somebody can find the solution. Thanks! Dariusz

We publish a newsletter that is created in InDesign with links to articles created in InCopy. Suddenly, not all of the articles show up in the Assignments panel, although all have the globe/arrow link and all show up in the Links panel.

I need to uninstall the app from my computer and it won't let me.

Hi. When I add or delete an endnote in InCopy, the endnote source page, the page with the endnote text at the end of the document, does not properly update. For example if I add an endnote after endnote 9, and jump down to the endnote source page with the endnote text to paste the new endnote information, endnote 9 has moved down to the endnote 10 spot and endnote 9 is blank. It requires me to cut endnote text from endnote 10 and paste it back to endnote 9. Then I can paste the new endnote text into endnote 10. If I delete an endnote, for example, I delete endnote 9 and move down to the endnote text at the end of the document, the "number" 9 deletes, but the actual endnote text is still there.  Is there a fix for this bug? It makes working with endnotes in InCopy virtually impossible and fraught with errors. 

I am trying to figure out how to rotate the layout view. We have a pamplet that folds up and the text is oriented in different directions on varying panels. When I click Object > Transform, none of the rotate buttons can be used (they are grayed out). Am I missing an improtant step to make this an option? Thank you. 

I have made a form for InCopy. The idea is that editors can copy this form and fill it with new information from different clients. Ideally, the writer should not need a designer to create the same document. Rather, the editor can copy the document into a separate folder and fill out the form.The problem comes when I copy and create a new document, it is still bound to the original tasks and stories thus modifying the original document. Is there any way that an editor can relink those files without the need of InDesign? Could you please help me with a solution?

Hello,I am using the InCopy/InDesign workflow between designers and editors. My editors open our Indesign files through Incopy with assigned stories. One of my editors copy does not flow the same as it does for me. It is puling the correct assignment and we see copy chanegs happening but it flows different on her screen vs mine, it shows to have run over text for her but fits fine on mine. We are working over BOX Drive cloud server but all files are up to date and no one is in them at the same time. So I do not think that is the issue.Any ideas why this is happening? If I open the InDesign file in InCopy on my computer it looks just as it does in my InDesign version. She also has the fonts installed so no missing font issue.Any help woudl be welcome, thank you.

We've tried using InCopy with InDesign with our writers and it saved us so much time, but we also create a lot of assets which are charts-and-illustration-heavy in Illustrator, that also have a lot of copy. So I'm wondering if there's a way to use InCopy with Illustrator?  If not, is there an alternative other than InCopy that works with Illustrator?

But while opening that file i got this attached msg. Its an urgent request anyone please let us know the process.

When I export all stories from my InDesign file I don't always generate an .icma file. Should there always be an .icma file? I don't understand why it happens sometimes and not other times. Also, can editors work in either the .icml or  the .icma? Sometimes they tell me that without the .icma they can't see the text file to edit.Thanks for any clarification you can give on this.

I recently picked up a new laptop, it's great, it has everything I need...except InCopy refuses to display correctly. The application opens but instead of a command bar at the top or a copyfit info panel at the bottom, all I get is blank grey panels. It doesn't seem to matter what I do, nothing makes it display properly.I've seen a couple of forum posts about removing preferences folders, etc. but that doesn't seem to make a difference. Here's what I'm seeing:If anybody else out there has seen this and knows how to fix it, I would appreciate the help.Many thanks.

is Lightroom Classic CC 7.1 still supported?  If not which version is current?

Is Extension Manager CC 7.3.2 supported or end of support?

I need to know if Adobe InCopy CC 9.0 (13.x) is end of support.  I'd like to know if there is a web page with product end of support/life/retirement for Adobe software versions.

I have a document open in InCopy, and I don't see any option to Save As InCopy Template. according to https://helpx.adobe.com/incopy/using/saving-exporting.html#incopy_file_types Template files (.icmt) Templates are useful starting points for stand-alone documents, because you can preset them with page size dimensions, text area dimensions, styles (paragraph and character), XML tags, swatches, pretagged sample content, and so on. Template files open as “Untitled” documents and display content and styles, but no page geometry (layout information from an InDesign document). This file type appears as InCopy Template in the Save As dialog box.

I can make several changes in InCopy before I get a pop-up that says the file has been changed. "Checking out the content will automatically update to the latest version. Do you want to continue?" If I hit yes, the text disappears and I get another pop-up that says "This is not a valid InDesign Interchange document." Is there a way to prevent this from happening?

Hello Adobe In adobe indesign I have chosen a template from adobe so i did not have to make one myself for this project, now I am dutch so for my spelling I have chosen Netherlands spelling but every time in klik on the dictionary it automaticly back to english. How can i keep my dictionary in dutch ???I choose NL every time but it gets bach on english every time !

I recently noticed that spell check isn't doing anything in InCopy 2020 v15.0.2. When I select Start with the spell check dialog box open, it immediately says "spell check complete" without flagging anything, when previously it would flag completely normal words and definitely at least people's names. I've seen a few threads from a year or two ago about spell check not working in InDesign, but there's very little support for InCopy-only users from what I can tell.  I introduced a spelling error and it didn't catch it, and I turned dynamic spelling on and company names and last names aren't flagged (and they aren't in my user dictionary either). I've turned spell check on and off in Preferences with files open and not open. The last step is uninstalling and reinstalling, which isn't ideal. Why did this just stop working and how can we get it turned back on? This is a mandatory tool my entire team uses every day, so it's unacceptable that it doesn't work. 

I'm learninginCopy. Is there a pages panel like there is in inDesign? I've been searching for about a half an hour and haven't yet found it.   Thanks in advance to all for any info.
