InCopy on InDesign Master Pages
I'm not exactly familiar with InCopy so here's the thing. I created several Master Pages for a magazine in InDesign and I want to make it a template so for every new issue I can easily create a new document from that template. Now is there a way to do the same thing with InCopy? Can I link InCopy to the Master Pages, for example, on the master page for interviews, and tell InDesign/InCopy to create a new InCopy Document whenever I use the Master Page on a normal page? What is the workflow here?
InCopy layout view dimensions are always US letter size
I'm new to InCopy and I'm considering making it part of our workflow. However, the layout view doesn't seem to work.
We would use it for novels, that have trim dimensions of 5.5" x 8.25". However, in the layout view, the dimensions are always standard letter size, 8.5" x 11". Also, recto and versos don't match.
I've tried re-saving as IDML and still have the same issue.
See below.

It's really not even close. Any help would be appreciated!
Editor of mathematical formulas
Can I edit mathematical formulas as fractions, integrals, powers, functions, etc. in this program?
Everything with which I met before, breaks the mathematical equations into different lines. As a result, when I try to save in .fb2 format for an e-book, the text loses its entire structure.
Will another file format help in solving the problem? Or is this program does not designed to work with the technical focus of literature?
InDesign shuts down...A serious error was detected.
I'm getting this alert after opening an InDesign document and then updating an ".icml" link. I'm having no other issues with InDesign files, only those that have changes made in InCopy.
The document is created using InDesign CS6 and worked on with InCopy CS6 (latest versions). I am able to open the InDesign file as long as I don't update all the links when opening the file. I've tried isolating which ".icml" link is causing the problem without success.
I would appreciate any help. Thanks!
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.
What is InCopy used for?
I'm trying to understand what InCopy is as opposed to InDesign. It seems like InCopy does basically the same thing as InDesign.
Need Video Tutorials: InCopy
There are no easy overview/intro videos I can find anywhere on 1. What is InCopy? 2. How can I begin to work in InCopy? I need something quick and easy to watch for my marketing team to get them interested in streamlining our editing process.
InCopy vs. Indesign
Might anyone give some input as regards to when it would be beneficial to choose IC i/o ID?
Could I change pictures, text and to some extent layout in IC if I have some templates created in ID?
Hope you can help me out!
Thanks & brgds

I can't edit text in InCopy CS5.5
Hi,
I wasn't very familiar with InCopy when I clicked into turning my text to InCopy, now I have to edit some pieces of the text and it will simply not allow me to make any changes, it's only on the main story (other parts of the document will allow me to check in and out of it). I've spent over 2 hours on the phone and sharing my screen with the people at Adobe and still no clue what's going on. Of course I'm on a deadline and desperate to understand how this works. Is InCopy being controlled by a plug-in? How do I modify it? I can't even open the stories that were created. Please help!!!

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.
Incopy error: Unable to check out file. May be in use by someone else. Help!
We are a group of editors who have been using InDesign and InCopy for several years. We send InCopy assignment packages to one another by email - no central server involved.
We have an experienced editor who has opened a package, edited the content and saved it, then gone back in to the assignment files with the intention of resuming his work - a process we are all familiar with. On this occasion he is unable to check out the content he needs to edit, getting the error message I have placed in the subject line.
I have searched widely inside and outside Adobe.com but cannot find any advice on how to get around this problem.
Help!
We are using CS5 software under various versions of OS X.

InDesign/InCopy Workflow – The content is locked and cannot be modified.
I've been working with an InDesign/InCopy workflow with Dropbox for a while and occasionally get an alert dialogue "The content is locked and cannot be modified" when in InDesign accepting/update InCopy changes made to the document. It seems to be happening more and more recently.
I can click OK, and then the software will allow the changes to be made to the InDesign document. However, I am having instances that InCopy users cannot get back into the document, until all of the content is updated from my end. I doesn't look like we are loosing any editorial changes.
Why does this happen? Is there any way to make it stop?
Thanks!
Alternative to Crosstalk plug in?
Hi,
We find Adobe InCopy very effective for our editors in editing article text for our magazines. However, we find it only usable with the Crosstalk plug in which effectively removes the complexities of assignments and the check in/check out process. We can't work without it as it makes the whole process so much more complex and time-consuming when we don't need the workflow benefits that it brings.
However, the last Crosstalk update was for CC and since their website hasn't been updated since July 2015 I fear that this will no longer be an option for us which puts us our 15 InCopy users in danger of going back to manual editing.
My two questions are; does anyone know of an alternative plug-in to Crosstalk or (preferably) can a simple version of InCopy be used without assignments and checking in/out, etc.?
I appreciate any help.

sharing indesign document through inCopy for proofreader to make corrections online
hello, have a question:
i never worked with a proofreader online to share the indesign document, so he can proofread and make corrections without touching the design of the catalog.
till now i only had an experience to do it in the same office.
the amount of text is pretty big and the amount of time is pretty short so if it could work would be of great help for the workflow.
do you have any suggestions how to do it and what details to take care about?
thanks in advance. all help and advices are appreciated
