Question

Misaligned Content when updating Design in InCopy

Does any one else ever have this issue? It does not happen to all pages, only a few every now and then.

 

 

After setting things up in Indesign and sending over to Incopy for Editors, sometimes content misaligns on a handful of pages. Not all of them, just a few sometimes. On some pages the guides become misaligned as well. The misalignment seems to be consistent with the amount of offset of the misalignment between the pages it happens on. Any idea where this could be coming from? No items are associated with any object styles so positioning rules are not a concern.

    Also just for clarification. This is a screenshot from InCopy after the misalignment takes place after clicking update design.

    Are you opening INDD files in InCopy or are you using ICMA (assignments) files?

     

    If you're using assignments, stop, and try opening the INDD files directly in InCopy.

    Hey Bob. Thanks for the reply. We are using ICML files linked into an ICMA assignment file so editors can scroll through the document and see the layouts as they edit. Are there any inherent issues with this workflow??
