InCopy CS3 Stuck in Notes Mode

$

0

Hello All,

 

I'm trying to help an editor troubleshoot an issue that I haven't seen before.  InCopy on her system is stuck in Notes Mode for all documents.  When the user tries to type or click in a story, she's prestented with a new note instead of seeing the desired effects.  Here are the steps to reproduce the issue:

 

1. Open a document.

2. Check out a story from the document.

3. Try to type or click anywhere in the checked out document

 

We've tried the above steps with a dozen or so documents and they have all acted the same way.  The following are the troubleshooting steps that we've tried so far:

 

1. Restart InCopy.

2. Restart the computer.

3. Swap out the keyboard to make sure F8 wasn't stuck.

 

This issue just started this morning; she has used this system for about a year now without any similar issues. Her system configuration is as follows:

 

Apple iMac, 20" Intel Core 2 Duo

OS X 10.5.8 with latest security patches

Adobe InCopy CS3 5.0.4

Extensis Font Reserve Client 1.7.6.1

 

Please let me know if you have any questions or thoughts.  I have a feeling that there is something minor that I'm overlooking but I can't figure out what.

 

Thanks,

 

Alex


InCopy Missing Fonts

$

I am not an InDesign/InCopy user so my knowledge is limited.  A  division of our company is adding InCopy to InDesign CS5 to control  workflow.  I have been called in to help troubleshoot an issue with  missing fonts using InCopy.

 

Example:  Mac User (A)  creates a layout using InDesign CS5 and saves to network share.  We have  tested this with or without creating assignments.

Mac User (B) opens layout using InCopy and receives "Missing Fonts" message.

 

It  is our understanding that InCopy took care of this by the  use/integration of the Document Fonts Feature.  The Document Fonts  folder is created and the fonts in the document are in that folder but  it is as if InCopy doesn't know where they are.

 

1. Are  we incorrect thinking that InCopy should take care of this (even though  it is a bullet point on Adobe's website as a New feature)?

2. If  we are correct, then we must be missing something in our process and  would like to know if there are step-by-step instructions to make this  work.

 

I saw the post concerning copying fonts to the  InCopy fonts folder to work around font issues between Mac and PC but I  thought that was taken care of with this New feature as well.

 

I appreciate any help someone can offer.

Opening .indd files in InCopy

Does anyone know how to open .indd files in InCopy? When I try to do this I can see the Layout View but not the Galley View or Story View, and I can't make any changes to the document.

Unable to update design in InCopy

Hello All,

 

I am running InDesign CS5 on a mac, and my copy team has InCopy CS5 on their PCs. We are working on a layout that had elements on the page that were not made into assignments and not intended for the copy team to edit. After a round with the client, we were instructed to remove these elements. However, the .icma files that my incopy users open still show these elements on the page. The options to update content and design are grayed out. If they open the .indd file with incopy, they see the latest layout, but how can they see these layout changes with the assignment files? This is important for our workflow because sometimes the copy team will write to a picture, but not have editable access to that picture. I need to make sure that they are seeing the latest and greatest layout for copy proofing purposes.

 

Thanks!

The error I get when I launch InCopy CS6 is: Adobe InCopy is shutting down. A serious error was detected. Please restart InCopy to recover work in any unsaved InCopy documents. <Return to Finder> Just two weeks ago we resolved an issue with the serial number. It was resolved, but now InCopy crashes.

inCopy files show as checked out when they are not

$

We're experiencing an issue where some (not all) of the inCopy files cannot be checked out in inCopy or in inDesign.

 

A user made copy edits in inCopy and closed the files. Now the inCopy user sees the files as checked out by the very same user even though obviously that user does not have them checked out. Plus, the last set of edits don't show either.

 

The inDesign user cannot check out the inCopy files from inDesign or see the last set of edit Changes. Both users are on the same version of inDesign/inCopy.

 

We were able to create a new inDesign files using the "Save As" command and then break all the links to that inCopy files, and export new inCopy files. The new inCopy files are behaving normally. Any way to restore normal behavior to the original inCopy files?


Edits have been made to the imported version of ... (How?)

More often than not, when updating in InDesign (CS6) a link to an InCopy (CS6) document edited by an author, I get the warning:

Edits have been made to the imported version of "story_name.icml".
You will lose these edits by updating. Update anyway?

Now I can't see how this can be:

  • I have to check out the document to edit it. While it is checked out to me, the author can't make any edits.
  • Likewise, the author has to check it out to make edits, and during that time I can't edit it.

So how is it possible that edits could have been made to my version that will be lost when I update to the author's latest version?

Preventing InCopy Text (Paragraph/Character) Style Changes

$

Has anyone found a solution prevent an InCopy user from adjusting the point size and font of content?

 

We set up styles in InDesign, but when the content is shared with someone with InCopy access, they feel the need to adjust everything. While the InDesign styles do override the InCopy styles, we have to manually change each section after each round of revisions (we do many) and it wastes a lot of time.

 

We need a way to allow them to change the content, but not adjust the text. Anyone have a solution?

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!

Page Positioning Print Options

$

Hi,

 

InDesign has print options for Page Positioning under "Print > Setup > Options >> Page Position".

This allows for centering the printed objects on the page. EG Print an A4 document on A3 paper and have a wide area around the content for users to write on.

 

Is there something similar in InCopy for printing the "Layout View"? I've looked but have been unable to find anything useful.

 

Thanks.

Is there a "Reveal in Explorer" option (or similar) in InCopy?

I think I've exhausted every place I can look for this on a PC with no luck. On a Mac you can simply right-click on the document's title in the tab, however on a PC I can find nothing similar. If anybody knows a way to do this I would be very happy to be enlightened - and if there is no way I'll be glad to add it as a feature request.

 

Thanks in advance!

InDesign and InCopy Compatibility

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?

"Für InDesign zurücksenden und per E-Mail senden" in InCopy CC nicht auswählbar

Liebe Community,
ich hoffe, ihr könnt mir Klarheit verschaffen.


Eine .icma-Datei (extern aus InDesign vom iMac, InDesign-Version unbekannt) konnte ich in meinem InCopy CC (Windows 10, reguläre Kaufversion, gekauft im Juli 2017) problemlos öffnen, bearbeiten und speichern.
Nur danach sind die Punkte zum Weiterleiten und Senden NICHT auswählbar, d.h. ich kann kein Paket packen und zurücksenden.

 

Alle Punkte der Rubrik, u.a. "Für InDesign zurücksenden und per E-Mail senden" sind NICHT auswählbar und stets grau hinterlegt, egal was ich mache.

 

Was mache ich falsch? Habe ich etwas übersehen?
Oder liegt hier ein Kompatibilitätsprobem vor?
Der Arbeitsbereich ist auf "Erweitert" und "Vollständige Menüs anzeigen" eingestellt. Meine eigene InDesign Version ist übrigens InDesign CS3, ich denke aber, dass dies nichts damit zu tun hat.
Ein Screenshot ist dabei.

 

Vielen Dank schon mal im Voraus,
herzliche Grüße,
Jasmin

inCopy user cannot check out

Incopy users cannot check out assignment. The assignments appear updated on their screen but there is no little icon on the corner of the text block showing the status and any change they do in the text cannot be checked in either then. We use the last updated version (me on inDesign and them on InCopy).

I tried relinking the stories through the assignment panel on their incopy but they are linked properly already.

We use Google rive. Everything is save or exported on the drive.

Any idea what it could be?

Thanks for your help

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?

Reuse content

Is there a way to reuse paragraphs or content including graphics in an InDesign - InCopy workflow?

I do not want to reuse a complete chapter or assignment but maybe just a paragraph or a caution that I use throughout the document or in multiple documents, so that when I update the content it gets updated in all places at once? Thank you!

When I'm editing in InCopy, blocks of text disappear for several minutes before reappearing. The most recent edits sometimes aren't saved. Why did this start happening, and how can I address it?

idap error when opening package in indesign

We are training for designers in a publisher, and am encountering a persistent error: we package the file to incopy (icap), edit the file in inCopy and return it to inDesign (idap).

 

Each one on your computer, in this exact order.

 

When returning in inDesign and clicking on "open package" the error "The story" appears xxxx.icml "in the package is no longer part of the assignment." The history was not updated. How do I want to continue?

 

Captura de Tela 2018-07-30 às 18.01.37.png

 

After this error it is necessary to overwrite each of the icmls files one by one (inconvenient).

 

The problem does not happen on my computer: but it happens on some users computers (students of my incompany training).

 

What could be happening? Why only happens on some computers?

 

@AnneMarie Concepcion help me!!!!
