My indesign incopy workflow consistently crashes!!!
I don't know what to do!
My incopy user updated the incopy file.
I open indesign and try to update the story and it crashes.
I tried to save as an .IDML without updating the files because that's when it crashes but that doesn't work either.
What can I do so I don't lose the changes?????
please help!!!!
I have not been able to find anything on this issue. I am using InCopy CS5 (7.0.4). I am preparing stand-alone InCopy files for InDesign layout. In other words, these files are not part of InCopy workflow.
When I try to open a file I closed yesterday, I get the error message: unclosed token.
No options to restore the file. Nothing. I guess I have to kiss that file good-bye.
Any suggestions?
Note: I must first say that InCopy CS5 has got to be one of the most unstable pieces of software I have ever used. It has crashed nearly once an hour since I started this project. (Don't get me wrong. I am a fan of InCopy/InDesign. There is no better way to integrate xml into the publishing cycle, for example.) But as an example of the unstable behavior, I will be copying and pasting text from one place to another when the beach ball will start spinning. Then InCopy crashes. In a few minutes, the crash report window appears. After answering the various dialog boxes, my file(s) come back.
I am using a trial version of InCopy on a Mac. I have been sent a zip file of fonts to add to InCopy so I can do some trial editing work. But so far I haven't been able to install them. When I open InCopy for editing I get a dialogue box saying the fonts are missing. How can I install these fonts?
Hi,
We have written a script for rebuild the modified tables in Indesign document. Now we have used the same script in InCopy, but we are getting the below error while running this script.
Error number:55
Object does not support this property or method xmlRuleProcessors.
function myFindXMLElements(myXMLElement, myXPath){
var myXMLElements = new Array;
var myXPath = [myXPath];
var myRuleProcessor = app.xmlRuleProcessors.add(myXPath);
try{
var myMatchData = myRuleProcessor.startProcessingRuleSet(myXMLElement);
while(myMatchData != undefined){
var myElement = myMatchData.element;
myXMLElements.push(myElement);
myMatchData = myRuleProcessor.findNextMatch();
}
myRuleProcessor.endProcessingRuleSet();
myRuleProcessor.remove();
return myXMLElements;
}
catch (myError){
myRuleProcessor.endProcessingRuleSet();
myRuleProcessor.remove();
throw myError;
}
}
Please help us if anyone has idea regarding this issue.
Thanks,

I have a PC user that uses InCopy CS6. She sets up her preferences: chooses a color for Notes and Track Changes.
However, when her InCopy crashes, she loses all her preferences and the Notes and Track Changes colors go back to the default colors. Her preferences also goes back to default if I stop InCopy using the PC's Task Manager.
This does not happen on my PC. I stop InCopy using the Task Manager, but I don't lose my preferences.
Any assistance would be appreciated.
We have a few InCopy CS4 licensees in use for several computers. Is there a way I can find which product key has been used for each computer?
Hi, I'm new to Incopy so please bear with me. I've got a layout in InDesign, and I've got a Text in Incopy (which is formatted with specific font/pt/lineheight/etc.). When I place this Incopy file into the InDesign layout, an error message pops up saying that some of the fonts could not be found and will be replaced by default fonts. What can I do in Incopy so that the correct formatting will be applied in InDesign?
i want to purchase the font of Cronos MM ,but there is only cronos Pro is on sale . whether i can buy cronos MM on abobe store ? or is free for us to use. cause we decided to use cornos MM as our major font for a college branding project . If it's not free, could you tell me where can i buy this font?
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!
I posted this on the InDesign forum, but I thought it might also belong here, as InCopy is involved.
Our company does a lot of repurposing. We pickup recipes from a magazine and publish them in a book, or vice-versa. Our current system of picking up this content is inefficient and requires the text to be restyled every time it gets picked up. We're trying to implement a workflow that will retain the styling and eliminate duplication, but I'm encountering a couple problems:
1) When pasting text from InDesign(or InCopy) into Word, it retains the styles UNLESS those styles are pre-defined in Word. For example, if the Word template has a pre-defined style called Recipe - head and you paste text that has that style, the text will no longer have that style applied after pasting; it will be set to Normal.
2) I can use InCopy to pickup the text and then export to RTF, but the text comes into Word with all the formatting applied (sizes, fonts, colors, etc.). This makes it very hard for the editors to read when they're reviewing the copy and making changes.
So my questions are these:
1) Is there a way to map styles from InDesign to Word? I'd like to set up the Word doc to have all the styles names without the formatting so it's easier to read. OR,
2) Is there a way to strip out all text formatting EXCEPT the style names themselves? We want it to retain the style names so we can map them to the InDesign styles when we import the text.
If anyone has dealt with these issues, I would really appreciate the help. My searching thus far has yielded little in the way of results.
Thanks in advance,
Matthew
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?
I have been to the InCopy page on the Adobe website and it states that InCopy comes with Creative Cloud but I am a Creative Cloud member and InCopy is not listed in any of the Apps or Services within the Cloud menu.
Does any other Creative Cloud members know how to access the InCopy?
Thanks

Kan iedereen met InCopy werken? Wat kost de aanschaf hiervan, en moet ik mijn Indesign bestanden anders opslaan?
Under Edit, the options are there but they are grayed out and therefore not available.
I'm asking this question for the editor that I regularly work with on projects. He works on a Windows laptop editing a lot of content that is designed on Intel Macs. We share multi-use fonts through Universal Type client but whenever we use system fonts, we run into the issue where different computers have different versions of the same font. So whenever he opens one of our documents in IC, he gets a missing fonts warning for fonts that he has (Times, Arial, Wingdings, etc.). Is there a way that he can set those fonts to be substituted by the system font versions that he has so that he can see the approximate flow using the correct font without having to actually replace the font (which would then mean that the designers would have to replace the font again when they reopen the file)? Hope that makes sense. I know IC uses a default font to substitute missing fonts, I'm just wondering if there is away to permanently assign certain fonts to substitute certain missing fonts.
Hi all,
I'm working with a document that contains master pages that are based on other master pages. For example, Master Page B is based on Master Page A. When MP-B is used, it is fine in InDesign. But when an InCopy assignment is created (icma file) it shows elements from MP-A on the MP-B document page. These elements do NOT appear on MP-B. Is there any way to fix this, other than reworking the InDesign file so that master pages are not based on other masters?
Element from MP-A:
Element from MP-B:
How the MP-B document page shows in InCopy:
I hope this is clear. Thanks for any help!

I am wondering how one can place NOTES on the actual pages of a document when there is NO text boxes to click into? In my case I have multiple pages where the content only exists in the master template. Lets say, for example, I have placed text in one of the masters and I decide to use it as a repeating document throughout the document. Then the SME assigned to edit the document, comes across one of these pages (based on the template) and decides they want one of those pages to say something a little differently. How is he or she going to write a note to indicate instructions back to the InDesigner if they cannot use the NOTE tool?

I'm collecting links to FAQ lists for various Adobe products (like this one for After Effects and this one for Premiere Pro).
Is there such an FAQ list for InCopy?
I'll be publishing the list of FAQ links on the Technical Support and Customer Service team's blog.
I remember someone saying don't upgrade until they fix the bugs. Well we are looking to add a couple of incopy stations now and I am wondering is now the time to upgrade from CS4 to ? I have CS5 on my Mac but we have 7 PC computers with InCopy and we are looking to add 2 additional computers/users.
What do you think?
Thank you
