Questions

I am doing a Lynda.com course Learning InCopy. All was going well until lesson 2, when I had to open one of the exercise files ''story.indd' and found that although it opens all the text is greyed and a little window informed me "because this document contains no InCopy stories, galley view and story view are not available'.  I can select the various 'stories' on the spreads shown but cannot edit them. I have contacted Lynda.com but they say they have tested the exercise and it works fine for them. They advised me to download the latest version of InCopy, but I have that so that can't be the source of the problem. Any ideas? If I am having this problem with a 'test' file I fear I may have it with real jobs (I am a freelance editor)/

Hello:I have edited hundreds of stories in InCopy that I exported from InDesign for a document.  How do I now import them back into InDesign?  I tried to relink but the edits are not there.Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Is there a way to remove ONLY the 64bit version of InCopy through command line? I've been researching this for the past couple days and every attempt has resulted in both versions uninstalling. The Creative Cloud Packager claims to be able to do this, but even though I specify only 64bit when I create the uninstall package it still removes both.We are trying to streamline our reference image creation process and our only option right now is to pause the task sequence and manually uninstall InCopy 64bit. Is there a better way to do this?

I edit/proofread for a friend who writes in InDesign. I subscribed to InCopy to do so, but I can't see how to open it--or the InDesign file he sent me.Help!  Thanks.

Hello! I installed myself a trial version of incopy. With many already figured out. But there is one question.I need to integrate the data of one incopy material into an indesign document into several different pages in such a way that the styles of each of the insertions with the same contents are different.Is it possible to do this with the use of only one material incopy?Привет! Установила себе пробную версию incopy. Со многим уже разобралась. Но есть один вопрос.Мне нужно интегрировать данные одного материала incopy в документ indesign на несколько разных страниц таким образом, чтобы стили каждой из вставок с одним и тем же содержимым были разные.Возможно ли сделать это с использованием лишь одного материала incopy?

Hello,Every app on every OS has a way to traverse/select and delete whole words to the right and to the left of the insertion point. E.g. InDesign/Story Editor/InCopy allow you to traverse[/select] words to the right by Cmd[+Shift]+Arrow Right and to the left – with Cmd[+Shift]+Arrow Left. InDesign and Story Editor also allow you to delete words to the right and words to the left with Cmd+Delete and Cmd+Backspace.But, most unfortunately, and contrary to InDesign, Story Editor and all other apps on Earth, InCopy acts erratically when one tries Cmd+Backspace or Cmd+Delete: sometimes they delete a word to the left, but sometimes they delete a word to the right!This is me hitting ONLY Cmd+Backspace:This is me hitting ONLY Cmd+Delete:I have checked CS5.5 and CC2018 (13.1) on OSX10.11. Is this a known bug? Am I missing something?Regardsm.

¡Ayuda! ¿Alguien sabe cómo solucionarlo?

Via E-Mail is very complicate and the files are too large. Dropbox causes mistakes (can't check in/out some text-frames any more …). And then it's complicate to deal with the amount of files: Where to save the assignments-file? Do I have to make a package or not? Do I have to make an assignment or no? Export directly or no? That's too complicate. Especially for my client (which is the text editor) which is using InCopy. I just want to transfer the permission to change the text in specific text-frames (or all) to my client/text-editors and save/transfer again to me. This works all over the CC. And I get istant notification if a specific content has changed and if I want to load this in my InDesign-document. That's all. Do I have to update to a team-licence to have this?Or do I have to save the files into the folder "Creative Cloud Files" in my user account? If yes, which file?Thanks!

For some reason, when I open an article the "No Break" feature is greyed out.Any ideas on how to make it work?Thank you in advance.

Hello! I am new to InCopy and have been enjoying it thus far. But I have not been able to figure out is how to display the page numbers of my book in Galley View. After exporting it from InDesign into InCopy, then opening up the indd with InCopy and going to Galley view, I cannot see page numbers. As I send multiple proofs back and forth with my authors, this would be very helpful as I reference page numbers in queries all the time. Thank you for your time!

The Norwegian help menu (Hjelp for InCopy | Bruke tekstmakroer ), which is a translation of the English (https://helpx.adobe.com/incopy/using/using-text-macros.html​), states that Text macros are found under "Windows -> Text Macros" (in Norwegian: Vindu -> Tekstmakro). But I can't find that option in my InDesign (version 13.1 x64). Is it something I should have installed, or is there any other way to ccess the Text Macros?

Hello, Is there any way to display Tracked Changes, Notes, or Dynamic Spell Check in Layout view in InCopy CC 2017? I can imagine why Tracked Changes can't be in there, as it wouldn't be able to fit in the finite space of the layout/design, but I'm hoping at least for the other two!  I've activated them all for Galley/Story, but it won't show up in Layout. Thank you for your time!

When I'm editing in InCopy, blocks of text disappear for several minutes before reappearing. The most recent edits sometimes aren't saved. Why did this start happening, and how can I address it?

Hi ...Occasionally I need to locate unwanted hyphenation in text - because I am not the one who created the Paragraph/Character styles.Some hyphenation is identified in existing search search parameters as:- Discretionary Hyphen- Nonbreaking HyphenDoes either of those refer to hyphens inserted by the style into text?InCopy limits my ability to create situations where I can test that.I have searched for the hyphen character, but it doesn't seem to find ones inserted because of the style and fit - only ones that have been keyed in.Is there another name or symbol set I should be using to search for these?Thanks,Rob KYour post moved from Adobe Creative Cloud to InCopy [Moderator]

In InCopy it's possible to place notes inside a text. But if the editor wants to say: Please make the image darker and sharper, how to do this? It's not possible to place notes on an image … Thanks!

hi,I have a problem,which make the editors crazy. One editor change the file through the Incopy in his computer,another editor change the file again in her computer,and the third one correct the same file in his computer.They all save the correted files.but indesign can't see the files which was correctted by the three editors.At the last all corrected work lost.I don't understand why the works can't save through the Incopy.

Maybe someone can help solve a problem someone on our magazine production team is having. An editor using InCopy for collaborative work opens an InDesign file and IC crashes immediately. It's vexing because it doesn't happen for her with other files nor with other team members opening the "problem" file. We have eliminated other obvious culprits, everyone is running IC/ID 2018 v13.1 and the designer and editor in question are working on on Macs with Sierra 10.12.6, 16MG. We all access shared files on our network. The editor having this IC crash problem has no issue when working on other ID files. One temporary fix seems to be if the Designer opens the ID file and resaves it, the editor can then use IC to open that ID file wo crashing. But this step must be repeated again and again. It's a pain and confusing. We think it may have to do with something in the specific InDesign file we use for that column but don't really know what that might be since other editors are not having the same

Unable to open InDesign doc through InCopy. My editor can't access indesign thru incopy. Getting error message: "cannot open file is open by another user" My computer: MacBook Pro,  OS is High Sierra 10.13.3, InDesign CC 13.0.1, Incopy 13.0.1. My editors computer: PC, Windows 8.1, InCopy 13.0.1 x64

Is there a way to reuse paragraphs or content including graphics in an InDesign - InCopy workflow?I do not want to reuse a complete chapter or assignment but maybe just a paragraph or a caution that I use throughout the document or in multiple documents, so that when I update the content it gets updated in all places at once? Thank you!

Having some trouble with a magazine I am working on. I am the designer and I have two editors. Editor 1 works in the same office as I do. Editor 2 works in another state. We are all collaborating on this project via Creative Cloud, so we can all open the file at the same time (me in InDesign, them in InCopy) We all have CC2018 and have all installed the latest updates. We all work on macs. Editor 1 keeps getting messages that say the .indd file is damaged. She is just working along nicely, then her InCopy crashes, and she get this error message when she attempts to open it back up. As a fix, (I make sure BOTH editors are out of the file before I do this) I remove all inCopy assignments (I am working in InDesign) make a copy of the Indd document in Creative Cloud, then re export all the copy to InCopy. Then both editors open the NEW .indd doc directly to InCopy and everything is fine for a while. I had Editor1 reset her preferences, but she got this error message again, a day later.&nbs

Hallo alle zusammen,wir möchten unseren Workflow umstellen, sodass unsere Lektoren die Korrekturen direkt in InCopy einarbeiten und ich sie als Setzer nicht mehr in InDesign umsetzen muss. Generell arbeite ich mit primären Textrahmen. Es scheint aber, als könnte ich diese nicht für InCopy exportieren. Kann das sein? Oder was mache ich falsch?Liebe GrüßeKatharina

Hello,I am having an issue with the Creative Cloud 2015 versions of InDesign and InCopy.  Recently, both of those programs started to crash right after Initialization.  I receive a crash report each time.  However, this is not occurring for all users.  This is occurring on MacBook Air Early 2015 models.  They are running MacOS 10.10.5, hence why I we are running the 2015 versions of CC programs.  It is only affecting these two programs and only for most non-admin users(i.e. Students).  This was reported to me about 2 weeks ago.  No system or program updates would have been ran just prior to that.Here is the crash report: Process: Adobe InCopy CC 2015 [456] Path: /Appli - Pastebin.com Steps I have attempted thus far:-Wiping out user preferences via keyboard command at startup-Reinstalling programs-Repairing Disk Permissions via Disk Utility-Temporarily granting read and write permissions to affected user account for programAre there any other step

Hello!Is there any solution that makes Adobe Incopy and Indesign Creative Cloud 2017 applications remember the new window size and position? After every restart, I have to resize my window and it is really annoying. I tried reinstallation, deleted AppData Local and Roaming folders and let that Adobe programs create them again, I tried to find registry setting, but nothing worked. Is this the way it works?Thank you for your help!

I have installed a new instance of InCopy CC on a Windows 8.1 system.  The install was done through the Adobe CC app and appeared to go well.  However, on starting InCopy, it starts to open and then a dialog box comes up saying that it has stopped working.  No message number or error code in the message.Adobe CC was signed in at the time.InCopy CC was started from a desktop or start menu icon so no ICML file was involved.Rebooting, no change.Uninstall & reinstall, no change.Does anyone have any idea what is going on here?
