I've been working on a booklet in InDesign for over a week. I am working alone. Suddenly when I try to copy a section, I get incopy instead of copy and I cannot copy at all. I am unable to work on this design now, and I can't figure out how it turned on, and most importantly how to turn it off. Would you please direct me? I need to finish this document and this has caused a lot of consternation. Thank you.

Guess it's fixed. Adobe support came on with me. Apparently, I updated to 2024, (maybe by accident) and the prompts moved. Sorry to have posted. I was totally unable to work. Thankyou both for attempting to help me.

Wait a minute! Are you saying the INDD file is opening in InCopy? If that's true, as Willi says, just reassign the file association or use the file > open command in InDesign.

No. I do not have incopy. I just know it's related to incopy because the copy command in the menu changed to incopy and then I could not copy at all. It opens in InDesign, but I can't do anything anymore. I just tried to reasign the assignment - to ME, but that didn't change anything. I CAN delete my assignment, but not the one that says unsassigned.

INDD files have been asigned probably to InCopy instead of InDesign on System level. Select one INDD file, right mouse click, open with, always, with … select InDesign.
