ok I am trying InCopy for the first time. How do you put an image in a document? Started my first document. file->place->image.jpg and nothing. I tried drag and drop and still nothing. I read the documentation here and it did no good.
This is InCopy CC on a pc, stand-alone document.
My co-worker works in InDesign and assigns me stories to work on in InCopy. I then open them on my machine and make my edits. When he opens them again, all of the text in the story I've edited is highlighted in pink, indicating that there is an error. He then has to change the font back to what it should be. We are trying to use the font Georgia, and we both have the same version of the font installed and both are Open Type font files. I'm not doing anything to change the fonts--just editing the text. Has anyone encountered this same problem? (Note: the text I've edited isn't the only text that ends up highlighted in pink. It's ALL text in the story, even if all I've done is add a comma to a five-paragraph story.)
Background info, just in case:
Co-worker (InDesign user): On a Mac with the Yosemite 10.10.1 OS
Me (InCopy user): On a PC with Windows 7 Professional OS
Any help would be greatly appreciate! Thanks.
Hello ,
I am having an issue with a file in InCopy. I am opening in InCopy CC a .indd file that was created in Adobe InDesign CC. After opening the file i go to file and select "Check Out". When i do that i get an error that says "This is not a valid InDesign Interchange document"
I have seen some post about this error but they are related to much earlier versions of incopy & indesign. I am still fairly to new these products so i am grateful for any help.
Thanks
Hi - Tried to start my InCopy CC (2015) on my El Capitan and it seems that it is crashing on startup.
Tried the following:
Please help? All other Adobe CC products works flawlessly including InDesign CC but somehow it fails. Here is the crash code: InCopy - Pastebin.com
Thanks alot!
Why is this happening? I create a new assignment and then select "Package for Incopy" and I get the error message "Package operation failed". What am I doing wrong? For draft 1 of my Mac Indesign CS5 file I created a new "assignment 1" and ICAP file and emailed to my PC Incopy CS4 client. They sent IDAP file back and all was well. I need to send draft 2 to client the same way but why am I unable to create a new ICAP file? I can't even replace the ICAP file from draft 1. Please help. Thank you! Lynn
Is there a way to make InCopy open all documents in normal screen mode, always?
Now it opens in the screen mode the InDesign page is in when checked in. We don't want that.
Thanks,
Frederik
Kunnen Incopy & Muse ook samenwerken, zoals Incopy & InDesign samenwerken? (Can InCopy & Muse work together, like InCopy & InDesign work together?)
The screen font is very small on a high res screen.
A lot of my editors forget to turn on Track Changes before they begin work on a story. As a part of a student publication, there's no real way to "incentivize" them to remember. Is there any way to configure the application to turn Track Changes on in every story?
We recently had very strange instance of InCopy stories reverting to previously saved content.
We update files every quarter with new data. Our process is to do a save as on the InDesign file, trash the InCopy stories and the export new stories for the new updates. This has worked pretty well so far.
This last quarter we had a number of files that were not reflecting the latest content. In some cases the stories initially reflected content from six, even nine months ago even though the stories had been updated and even reexported several times. In other cases the InCopy user would update the stories, save the content and check back them in. The InDesign user would work on the file, but when they would send it back to the InCopy user and discover that all their content changes were gone and the stories had old content in them, again, some changes as far as six months ago. The problem seemed to be isolated to projects that were saved in one folder on the server, however, there were about 40 individual projects in that folder. Some had problems, some were fine.
Is there something in the files that retains old information even when new stories are exported?
The only solution we've found so far that appears (hopefully) to be holding is to save an IDML file and resave the document from there with new stories.
We've also had issues in some of the same files of stories showing up in the assignment panels as checked out and they cannot be checked back in, even for the user that says has checked them out. We've tried trashing and reexporting these stories and they still show up as checked out. We finally solved it by deleting the folder containing the stories, but this problem crops up every now and again on isolated ICML files. Is this some kind of server conflict?
Hopefully this makes sense. It's been a difficult problem to try and solve. I don't have any explanation other than gremlins.
We are in CC 2014 and mostly on Windows 7 Enterprise, though some people have had their computers updated to newer OS.
I'm trying to accept a change made by a Mac InDesign CS4 user in Windows InCopy CS5.5. Every time I do this it crashes the InCopy program. The designer has tried to re-create the story, but the deleted text is still tracked and I still can't accept the change (i.e. permanently delete the text). The designer can't seem to fix it because she can't even see the text.
Incopy license issue
Hi there,
I have formatted a 224 page catalog using master pages for each section and it includes multiple InCopy Stories. The file is 224 page not broken out into chapters. I have linked boxes, one image that is anchored to every text box and repeated on every page and I have created a generated index which pulls the titles from each page to create the index. This mean that every title on almost every page includes a “tag” so that it can be included in the generated list.
I have tried splitting up the stories so each section has 20 stories or so, and I have also tried making one “long” story that includes 20 pages. Either way, InDesign stops responding.
I do not send stories out as packages. They are accessed on one central drive and the InDesign files are also on the same drive. There are only two editors that access these stories, besides myself. I don't think it's an InCopy issue but it might be. I have tried for several months to figure out this issue but have not been successful. Due to this large project, it would be great to have our editors make their own grammatical edits and updates!
Do you think this document is too complicated and that is why it crashes? My platform is PC and I have using InDesign CC 2017 and InCopy CC 2017
Please help!

I am hopeful of getting some sub-editing shifts in August on a London paper that uses InDesign.
I am used to other Quark-based newspaper systems (inc a bad one called Prestige), so need to acquaint myself with InCopy (been told it is superior to other systems but can be initially daunting to a newcomer).
I have hit a dead-end on attempting to access a trial on my PC lap top.
thanks
