Hi, I was wondering if anybody could tell me if Adobe Incopy CS4 is compatible with the translating tool TRADOS?
Thanks,
Daniel

I can't delete or edit text in a new document...or in an assingment...
I have a problem with InCopy CS4...when I create a new document and I try to delete the text, I can't do it... even when I edit an assignment from InDesign CS4.
The only way that I can delete the text is on the Layout view, or directly on InDesign.

Tracking Changes
I am the designer here and I have two people who edit my files in - Incopy. They can't figure out how to track changes they have set up user names and colors and have turned on the view tracked changes...what are they missing.

InCopy for Translation?
Sorry if this is a repetitive thread - I couldn't seem to find anything posted on translations.
I am a one person marketing department, well versed in InDesign and translation the old fashioned cut n paste solution .. Being pressed for time - I'm looking to maximize on my time spent.
Can InCopy be used by my translators to remotly (from the other side of the world in most cases) translate my InDesign documents? What do I need to set this up? Do I need to purchase InCopy for each of them? Or is there some sort of online function I can use. Do I need to have an InDesign Server?
Sorry if these sound like really basic questions - I've never used InCopy before and have no idea where to even look for the answers!

Editor cannot 'check out' InCopy file
I'm a novice in InCopy but am learning the ropes, however, am having a problem that I can't figure out. The editor who needs to open/edit the InCopy file says she can't check it out. I don't know what to tell her. She has the .icma and .icml files and I don't see a problem on my end. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

Large files causing InDesign/InCopy to Crash
I am pilot-testing using InCopy for use in my office, and I'm having trouble with InDesign crashing every time I try to update the text layer that has been updated in InCopy. I don't have problem with smaller files, but with the larger files, InDesign always crashes and when I re-launch InDesign, I get a windown saying the file is now damaged.
The files giving me problems are really large, and I think that's the problem. They range from 6-30 pages of two-column text. The text has paragraph styles, character styles, hyperlinks, bookmarks and they were originally made in InDesign CS2. They were updated to CS4 in 2009.
I export the entire text layer (6-30 pages worth of text) as an assignment, make some changes to the InCopy document in InCopy, check everything back in, close InCopy, open InDesign, open the document, try to update the text layer and InDesign crashes. Every dang time.
Has anyone else had this problem? Is it just the size of the file?

Track changes
I'm working on a script to control the track changes settings from one InCopy session to the next. Unless someone tells me that there is a preferences setting that I've overlooked, that is.
I've figured out how to handle the most of the settings I care about (showAddedText, etc) and can turn tracking on and off (story.trackChanges=true/false) but I stumped on how to show or hide the changes. There's a handy eyeball button in the user interface, but I can't find anything in the InCopy scripting documents.

Unassigned InCopy Content
Hi there!
I would very much appreciate some help..
I keep getting the 'Unassigned InCopy Content' error message. I have never set-up InCopy, didn't even know about it until I got this error trying to export a file to pdf. It now actually comes up every time with the same error even when I create a completely new file! What do I do? I have acsolutely no idea?
Thank you so much!!!

Paragraph & Word Count in InCopy
Is there a way to count a selected block of text to know how many words and paragraph returns with InCopy? InDesign has the info panel but I can't find an equivelent for InCopy? If not, is there a way to write a script or does one exist to count? I will be doing list of people and always will know the final number and confirming the count will help confirm no one's name was skipped.

Sharing stories across InDesign documents without retaining styles
I work at a small company, and we reuse the same pieces of content across multiple brochures. These stories/paragraphs need to be periodically updated with new copy. I know I can export an .icml file for each story and link that file to multiple InDesign documents. This works beautifully; when one document is updated, the other documents synchronize with the new content after updating the link. Here is the problem: these different brochures use different paragraph styles for the body, headings, etc. Is it possible to synchronize ONLY the text data across these multiple documents and ignore formatting and styles? Is InCopy the right tool for this?

Automatic loading of paragraph style for InCopy from InDesign?
After I create a new empty text box in InDesign and add it to the assignment for InCopy, how do i get all of my paragraph styles to automatically appear in the InCopy document? right now, only 1 style is there when opened. The copywriter is having to load them for each text box.
All versions are most recent as of yesterday March 2nd.

Incopy CC crashes when exporting pdf (Windows)
I'd like to share my solution for this as it was driving me insane for the period I could not resolve this for a user.
Symptoms
- On opening any Incopy file in CC, exporting the file to PDF would cause a software crash
- The PDF itself would still be exported despite Incopy crashing
- Event viewer did not show anything outstanding as the main culprit for the crashes
- Exporting to PDF in CS6 was fine, while exporting in CS7 was also fine.
Solution
- Close any instances of InCopy you have running
- Head to the AppData folder for Incopy in the directory<username>\AppData\local\adobe\InCopy and rename 'InCopy' to InCopy.old
- Head to the AppData folder for Incopy in the directory<username>\AppData\roaming\adobe\InCopy and rename 'InCopy' to InCopy.old
- Restart the machine and attempt to export to PDF once more.
Again this is what worked for me and it may not work for anyone. But I thought to make some documentation as I could not find this anywhere on the web when doing my investigation. Hopefully people in future will find this on Googleling.

Can an InCopy editor add, remove and edit a text frame placed inside the main story text frame?
I think I already know the answer to this which is - no. I'll explain why I am asking the question in a second, but the reason I think the simple answer is no is because - text frames are controlled by a designer in the layout file, an editor using incopy can only edit the text and images placed inside text frames, and so cannot resize them, add or delete them.
Ok, so the reason I have asked this.
- Is there a way around this so that editors in incopy can edit certain types of text frame that are contained within the main text frame? I'm using these text frames to contain specific paragraph styles, giving them a boxed look and also with an anchored icon in the top left of the text frame depending on the type of paragraph it is. See screenshot as an example of a green text frame that I am using to contain paragraphs of type "tip".
![Capture-tf.JPG]()
- If it is not possible for editors in incopy to add, edit or resize these text frames (green tip frame in the example above), then how else can I style these paragraphs to give the same visual appearance, but without the use of wrapping them in a text frame?
One (not so good) way around this is for the designer to add the text frames in the layout file after he gets the content back from the editor, then moving the "tip" paragraphs into these newly created text frames. However when the editor updates the content in incopy and gets these new text frames in their copy, they can not then delete them if they wish to, or if they add or reduce content inside of these green text frames then the frames dont grow to fit their edited content. So I dont think its a solution for the designer to control the adding, removing and resizing of these frames.
UPDATE: I have just discovered that once a text frame has been placed into the document by the designer and the editor updates their copy in incopy- they can then use the "Position Tool" to select that text frame - allowing them to resize it, or delete it! Fantastic. But would the editor be able to add these frames in themselves to begin with? Maybe have a document containing all of the objects available to them, copy and paste one of them into the main document and edit its content? Does anyone have any advice on how to go about this? Essentially I would like the editor to control the insertion, editing and removal of these inline text frames.

Insert "fake" index markers in InCopy, then create "real" index markers in InDesign
I want my editors to control the index entries in our publication. But in InCopy it doesn't seem to allow you to add Index markers.
So, what is the best way for my editors to insert "fake" index markers in the InCopy doc, which I could then use to insert "actual" index markers in InDesign?

Editor can't access InDesign file through InCopy CC, while designer is in same file with InDesign CC
Hello,
This is the problem we are having
When a designer opens an InDesign file that is stored on a network share through InDesign, and an editor tries to open the same InDesign file through InCopy, the error message “This file is already open by another user or another application. This file may be stored on a network server and cannot be opened until the other user closes it.” is displayed. To get around this issue, the designer must close out of the file in InDesign, and the editor must open the InDesign file in InCopy before the designer reopens the InDesign file using the InDesign application. This issue did not occur in 9.1. Adobe support has stated that files cannot be used at the same time in InCopy and InDesign, but that is the function that the product was designed to accomplish and this issue has never occurred before. The files are stored on a shared network.
Also, when an editor updates an assignment from InCopy and a designer clicks on the updated assignment to update their view from InDesign, the error message “The content is locked and cannot be modified.” is displayed. If the Designer clicks OK, the view is updated as expected. This occurs even is the assignment is NOT checked out by another user.
Finally, if a designer adds or updates a graphic inside of an InDesign file using InDesign while an editor is editing the file using InCopy, the editor using InCopy will not see the update unless they completely close out of the InCopy application and reopen it, which due to the above problems, is not feasible. The only way the file can be updated in InCopy is for the designer to completely close out of the file, for the editors to then close out, and reopen in InCopy, at which point the designer may reopen the file. If some editors are away from their desks at the time of update, the entire process must be repeated in order for them to be able to open the most recent version of the file in InCopy.
This issue appears to be due to a major flaw in the 9.2 version update for InDesign, as none of these issues occurred before the 9.2 update. One computer currently still has the 9.1 version of InDesign at our company, and does not experience these problems we are having with 9.2. We have tested multiple configurations of our network trying to rule out our network as the problem, but the only case in which we don't experience these problems is when we use InDesign version 9.1. Also, we never experienced this problem before the update of InDesign and InCopy to 9.2.
Thanks!

Export multiple rtf to InCopy files
hi,
I'm using InCopy CC.
I created an assignment file (by exporting all the stories of the InDesign file). Then in InCopy, i opened the assignment (22 individual InCopy files) and exported those to rtf files.
Now, after i've received the files back from the editor (22 rtf) i wanna save all of the back to InCopy so i can update them in InDsign.
InCopy's built-in script does not have this option (like the one i used to export all multiple InCopy file of the assignment to rtf).
Is there a way to do that without manually saving every file back to InCopy format?
thanks!

Text is going missing from InCopy frames
I work in magazine publishing and we use Google Drive for all our file storage. We have had some problems on some of our publications where an editor will enter text in an InCopy assignment, check the text back in, save it and close the document. They show that the file syncs up to Drive, but no one else can see the text they entered. The editor who entered and saved the text will then open their file and, lo and behold, all of their text is gone. A similar thing will happen when making changes. An editor will make changes to text that's already in the document, but then after saving and syncing up to Drive, the changes disappear, leaving only the text that was there before the changes were entered.
We've checked for conflicted files and see none. We tried Dropbox for awhile and encountered similar problems, though less frequently. When working locally on our network we almost never have problems like this. It seems like this could be a situation of InCopy not playing well with Cloud file sharing sites. This situation happens more with some editors than others, and we're willing to entertain the possibility that user error is causing this issue, but we can't for the life of us figure out where such errors might be occurring.
What can we do to prevent text or changes from going missing in the future?

Is there a cloud server solution with CC and/or CC for Teams?
In the past, we've used a local server to share InCopy assignments between our writers and designers. Now, with many users working off-site, we'd like to use a cloud-based workflow. Is there anything within InCopy/Indesign CC to help with this? We have a CC for Teams account.
My first thought was to use the CC Libraries function, because this has worked great for us with graphics and photos, but InCopy files cannot live as Library items. Actually, InCopy doesn't even appear to have a Libraries panel.
My second thought, and what we're currently practicing, is to have shared folders in our Creative Cloud drives. This works much like using Dropbox would work. The issue here is that, like Dropbox, the Creative Cloud Drive files exist on your physical machine, then upload to the cloud server after a save or check-in action takes place. This pretty-much eliminates the benefit of the check-in/check-out process, as each individual will always see the file on their desktop as checked-in... even if all of them are working on the same file independently. Then there will be a syncing issue as they all save or check-in their content.
tl;dr: Is there an Adobe solution to create a cloud-based InCopy server workflow?
