InCopy CC 2019, Windows 10 64 bit

I recently received InCopy assignment files that I need to "reverse engineer" into InDesign. The InCopy files consists of a single .icma assignment file and approximately 1,100 .icml files - text and graphics. How can I output these from InCopy so that InDesign can open it with the layout preserved? I thought the File > Package > Return for InDesign feature would sort this out, but it's greyed out.

You can't. What happened to the original InDesign file?

Hi Bob,

I got this from a translation company and no one on their end knows where the original InD file is.

It's only an island if you look at it from the water.

I'm afraid you're out of luck. The plus side, at least you have all the content and know what the layout is supposed to look like but there has to be an InDesign file somwhere that created this. BTW, the package thing only works if you received a package.
