I have InDesign and InCopy CS6 Version 8.0 on one computer and InCopy CC Version 9.0 on other computers. I'm having a lot of difficulty working on individual documents in InCopy. On one of the InCopy CC Version 9.0 Computers, the software isn't correctly identifying when the document in the assignment is copyfit. On another InCopy CC Version 9.0 Computer, the changes made aren't saving and then can't be seen on other computers with InDesign and InCopy CS6 Version 8.0. Is this because of the differences in the software? Is there a way that I can fix this?

Error when saving/checking in content
Here's my problem. I open the .icma file, which is stored on the server. It opens in InCopy just fine. I check out all content, make a few changes, then do "Save All Content." When I do this, I get an error saying "The following content could not be saved. The files could be locked or you may not have permission to change them." The file appears to save, but then I am unable to check in any of the content. I've restarted InCopy and my computer, and still have the same problem. Indeed, after restarting my computer and opening the .icma file, all the content was marked as check out—by me—with the line through the pencil icon. I am the only one working with these InCopy files; the designer does not have the corresponding InDesign file open.

How to place and link an Excel spreadsheet to InCopy file?
I'm trying to place and link an Excel spreadsheet to an InCopy table. Adobe Support available at the following link ...
states...
"If you want to maintain a link to the spreadsheet, select the Create Links When Placing Text And Spreadsheet Files option in File Handling preference settings."
Although this Create Links option is available within the InDesign edit preferences dialog box, it is not available in the InCopy dialog box.
I'm using InCopy 2017.0 release on a Windows machine.

"Save All Content" option is disabled
Adobe InCopy CC version 11.0.1.105 x64 build running on Windows 7 Enterprise.
I have a few dozen documents open and modified through bulk find-and-replace steps. I'd like to save them all at once, but the "Save All Content" option is grayed out. (Save and Save As ... are both enabled).
I can't find anything that indicates what conditions would disable the "Save All Content" option or how to enable it, but it would save me a lot of time to be able to Save All and close InCopy rather than save each (of dozens of files) one at a time.
Can anyone provide some insight?

Track Changes History
After you accept/reject any edits made in either InCopy or InDesign, the change and all history seems to disappear. Am I missing something?

InCopy: Layout view does not show runover text
Since the updating to InCopy CC 2015, I can no longer view past the first page of a document in layout view. (Previously, the icon in the bottom right of the page would be a red box with a white arrow, indicating runover; not the plus sign one usually sees in InDesign runover.)
Does anyone know of a fix? Or is the new behavior of InCopy CC 2015?

Cannot open file "". Adobe InCopy may not support the file format, a plug-in that supports the file format may be missing, or the file may be open in another application.
Hello,
I recently made changes to a file and saved it. Then I try to open it again and got this message: Cannot open file "". Adobe InCopy may not support the file format, a plug-in that supports the file format may be missing, or the file may be open in another application.
I thought it might be open elsewhere, so I made a copy file and still can't open that (with name change). There are no hidden files anywhere in the folder.
Can anyone help? I cannot spend more time on it as it's a time urgent project!

InCopy Crashes immediately after opening a shared InDesign file on network
Maybe someone can help solve a problem someone on our magazine production team is having. An editor using InCopy for collaborative work opens an InDesign file and IC crashes immediately. It's vexing because it doesn't happen for her with other files nor with other team members opening the "problem" file. We have eliminated other obvious culprits, everyone is running IC/ID 2018 v13.1 and the designer and editor in question are working on on Macs with Sierra 10.12.6, 16MG. We all access shared files on our network. The editor having this IC crash problem has no issue when working on other ID files. One temporary fix seems to be if the Designer opens the ID file and resaves it, the editor can then use IC to open that ID file wo crashing. But this step must be repeated again and again. It's a pain and confusing.
We think it may have to do with something in the specific InDesign file we use for that column but don't really know what that might be since other editors are not having the same crash problem.

Galley View and Story View are not available
When I should open InCopy documents (created on a MAC) on my PC, I get the following message: "Because this document contains no InCopy stories, Galley View and Story View are not available."
And it is not possible for me to edit the document.
On my colleague´s MAC-computers it is possible to work with the same document in all views. Why doesn´t it work on my PC?

trying to use incopy as word processor replacement
Hi
I have some really naive questions about Incopy...
I thought I would try it out as a potential replacement for Word. I hoped I could separate the content and formatting for a long documnt but keep the two in an active editing mode concurrently until my document is finished - I had alot of trouble doing this in the past with linked Word files.
The first really dumb problems I have may be because I don't understand professional copy editing. I was trying to do very simple editing and was dumbfounded by the program's response. A simple backspace was not allowed while in galley or story mode and while I was in layout mode, i could backspace but I could not add new paragraphs...Is this all normal? Is there a way to get it to perform even more like a dead simple word pocessor?
Any advice about things I may be overlooking or issues I may want to reconsider in terms of my workflow would be greatly appreciated.
thanks so much in advance

Spreads rotating and printing off page
Hi,
I just posted about this on the InDesign forum, too, but it has an InCopy-specific angle, so that's why I'm here. When we print multiple spreads, the first spread prints fine, but the following ones are printing vertically, and thus, not fitting on the page. There's a workaround when printing from InDesign (have the paper size defined by driver) but that doesn't seem to be an option in InCopy. Any ideas? Thanks!

text variables
Hi,
is it possible to change the value of text variables in InCopy? I know the options are inactive in the UI.
What I'd like to do is:
- change the value of text variables in icml
What currently happens
- the changes are visible in InCopy
- If you open InDesign and update that placed InCopy article, the value of the changed text variable is not updated
Is there a possibility to do so? Or is it impossible by design?
Thanks.

InCopy 8 (CS6): Missing Plugins, Cannot Open File
A client and I have used InCopy for several years with no issues. After upgrading to CS6, though, we are both getting this error when opening InDesign files that have embedded preflight profiles:
Missing Plug-ins, Cannot Open File
Package and Preflight.InDesignPlugin
I've tested this on two machines (both Macs) and can confirm that it happens only with embedded preflight profiles. My client is having the same experience on his brand-new iMac (with no previous CS6 installations).
Documents without embedded preflight profiles open normally.
Extension Manager reports that the Package and Preflight plugin is loaded -- but from a nonexistent folder:
This folder existed in CS5.5 but not now. Both my client and I have uninstalled and reinstalled InCopy CS6 with no change.
After clicking through the error to load the document, selecting Option+Command+InCopy > About InCopy to display component information shows that the plugin is both "used" and "missing."
No big deal (we can click through this) but annoying and strange. Anyone else running into this?

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.

InCopy CC crashes when using track changes
Hi
We have had a lot of problems with InCopy chrasing.
We are using the package system.
It seems to happen when clients are using Track changes, they open the file and if i opens in Story mode it just spins and won't works. If ou open it in Layout mode it seems fine but as soon as you go to Story mode it spins again.
If the track changes are accepted the package will work fine again.
Does Adobe have any updates for this it's becoming very frustating and clients don't want to use InCopy.
Thanks

Can't save content as rtf
Hi,
I am trying to save all my stories in an assignment into a text document for editing. According to the Incopy manual I go File>Save content as>. But this option is grayed out on the menu, as are all the save options. Export to rtf only exports the current story not all stories into one document.
I have only the trial version of Incopy cc at the moment. Perhaps this is the problem? But nothing else seems to be disabled in the trial. I have tried reinstalling to no avail.
Any help much appreciated.

Text frame icons not appearing
Using Adobe InCopy 2015, I am not seeing the globe-and-paper icons on the text frame nor the checked-out pencil icons, either in InDesign 2015 or in InCopy.
In InCopy, he only indication that a copy block is editable is when you hover over it and get the tool tip.
This must be a setting somewhere, but I cannot find it.
Thanks!

InCopy displaying masters instead of pages
Hi guys,
InCopy users (PC) are seeing only the masters pages of a file generated from a InDesign user (Mac) – instead of the actual pages with the stories.
The file is properly setup with a assignment and stories and the whole flow is working fine between Macs (the file):
And this is what the PC users are seeing (the master pages and the Portuguese version of "Because this document contains no InCopy stories, Galley View and Story View are not available.")
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
