We're currently trialing CS5.5 ID and CS5.5 IC. When I 'Package for Incopy' and my editor opens the .icap file sometimes the text flows over by a line or two. I thought I'd pinpointed it down to hypenation but it's also returning whole words onto the next line causing the text to overrun the text box. Any suggestions as to why this is happening much appreciated. Thanks.

Plugin Not Found, Cannot Open INDD File
Hi everyone. I'm using clean default installs of InDesign CC and InCopy CC. I attempted to open an INDD file in InCopy, and got an error message telling me IC cannot open the file because a plugin was not found.
I selected OK and in spite of the "cannot open file" header in the warning box and subsequent "do you want to open the file anyway" question in its fine print, the file opened without a problem. I then came here to the forum.
There was a message in the forum header that advised me a bugfix was made to prevent ID and IC from opening incompatible plugins, and I'm assuming that's what generated the error message.
I have two questions. How do I identify the program that installed this incompatible plugin so that I can properly remove it from my system?
Thanks

InCopy in Creative Cloud?
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

InCopy CC file sharing
Can InCopy CC files (.icap) can be accessed(open & edit) by a remote person who doesn't have either creative cloud membership or InCopy. When searching in the web I found the below one from Adobe FAQ column:
"In addition, Creative Cloud sharing features let you share files with people who aren't members of Creative Cloud by allowing them to view the files in a browser. Viewers can turn layers on and off, view relevant metadata, comment, and even download files for editing."
What I don't understand here is 'the files can be viewed in browser'. Does it mean it can be opened in any broswer & edited even if the InCopy product is not installed or it means they can edit the files in InCopy CS6?
Can anyone make this clear...

"Not Well Formed" and "Junk After Document Element" Errors
We are having InCopy stories that generate errors that I cannot find much information about online. This happens in CS4 and CS5 documents. We have no documents that originated in CS5.5 so I don't know if InCopy CS5.5 will CAUSE the issue, but I know that CS5 files opened in CS 5.5 have seen this issue manifest. Files that are functioning normally at check-in will just open next time with one of these two errors. No crash or strange behavior before suddenly the error appears. We can have dozens of stories in a document (or hundreds) and one will corrupt in this manner. An hour, a day, a week, maybe a month later, another file will die. There seems to be no discrenable pattern.
The errors are "Not Well Formed" and "Junk After Document Element." I can open the .icml files in a text editor and find and (usually) fix the problem, but wonder how the files are corrupting? The "junk after document element" files will have a complete duplicate of the content of the file starting immediatley following the </document> tag. It is as though instead of writing just the changes to the file when checked in, InCopy appends a whole new document, beginning with the <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?> tag.
The "not well formed" files appear almost the same, but instead of the document starting over after the </document> tag, it will have a copy of itself inserted willy-nilly in the middle of the file. This one is much harder to fix…

InCopy vs. Indesign
I am currently considering whether to purchase the Indesign program or merely "settle" with the InCopy version.
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

InDesign CS5 and InCopy CS3
I work at a weekly newspaper, and we have been using and InDesign/InCopy workflow for several years. The Reporters use InDesign CS2 (never did get around to installing the CS3 upgrades we bought because at first the computers they use wouldn't handle it, and after the computer upgrades got done all around, no one ever bothered). After the stories are written, the editor reviews them in InCopy, then releases them to the page designers who are now working in InDesign CS3 as part of Standard and Premium Suites.
We are considering upgrading to InDesign CS5, but absolutely NONE of the reporters or the editor needs (or will ever use) the listed improvements included in InCopy CS5. Since there are nine InCopy products in the office, and as everyone knows the economy sucks - especially for PRINTED NEWSPAPERS these days, we really hate to have to upgrade just for upgrades sake.
I have downloaded InDesign CS5 trial to check if our CS3 files will open and work in it, after reading an article published in the Washington Newspaper, a publication put out by the Washington Newspaper Publishers Association, reported that one of the state's newspapers happily upgraded to CS5 and had a nightmare of problems just opening their CS4 files. This has my editor very nervious about us upgrading. So... I'm testing it out, and I can't place, then open and edit our CS3 Incopy Files. I get a message that says "this story needs toa be converted to "InCopy Document" format to edit it. I've saved it in InCopy CS3 to both incx and incd formats, and both receive the error. Has Adobe made simple InCopy files incompatible with InDesign? I can import files from just about everywhere BUT InCopy??? The Sister Program?
Please advise a simple work around, or I'll bet our upgrade is totally put off.

InCopy and InDesign can open the same assignment at the same time
Can anybody help me? In InDesign I have created assignments. When the copy writer checks them out, the InDesign Assignments Palette does not update to show that they are checked out and are unavailable to me to edit. Instead they remain marked as available and I am able to check them out at the same time as the copy writer has them open. If the copy writer has multiple assignments checked out, they don't appear as checked out in InDesign until I select ‘Update all assignments’ in the Assignments Palette.
Has anybody come across this before? We can't start using InCopy until this is resolved.
Cheers

CP1252.txt error message
Hello InCopy Community:
I have a new user that has InCopy CS6 (version 8.0.1) installed on their Windows System 7 computer. Most of the time, the software opens the files successfully.
However, on some files the InCopy user receives the following error when opening the document:
"Adobe InDesign is missing required files. Please reinstall."
"Missing files: \Program Files\Common Files\TypeSupport\...\CP1252.TXT"
We checked the InCopy machines Program Files and Program Files (x86) directories and the CP1252.TXT file appears in both paths.
I also checked the machine running InDesign CS6 (also Win System 7) and the CP1252.TXT file resides in the appropriate paths.
Is anyone familiar with this issue and have a solution?
Your response would be appreciated.

Print smaller document center justified
Hi,
I've to print a small InCopy CS4 document (14 x 21 cm) on a larger format printer (21 x 29 cm).
The goal is to get the print center justified. As there is no option for that, I wonder if there is a scripting (javascript) solution available?
Regards

Incopy CS5 Images printed are pixelated
Is there a way I can print an incopy story in layout view where it doesn't print in low quality? I tried setting the display performance to high quality display and that made no difference in the print out. For something that should seem so easy to figure out, I couldn't find a solution in the incopy online help pdf.

Assignment missing design elements
I work in InDesign CS6 (mac) and send assignments to our copywriter who is working with InCopy CS5 (pc). When he opens the assignment, two text elements on the page do not show up in Layout mode (or Galley mode). These are not included in the assignment to be edited, but there are other elements that are not included but they show up on the page. We have been sending work back and forth for years and have not had problems before now. Any thoughts as to what is causing this? I will also mention that I am working with xml tags in the file (for exporting to web).

Versioning InCopy documents
Currently I work with a Word doc, uploaded to Sharepoint. This file is checked out and worked on and once it is saved back to its Sharepoint location, a version is saved. This allows someone to restore the most recent saved version back to a previous version or simply to see what changes have been made at each version in the history.
I'm currently working with the InCopy CS6 free trial to understand its features and whether it will be suitable. I understand the checking in and out process that you get, but the ability to see a list of versions of a document doesn't seem to exist. Am I missing it? Does InCopy have a version history of a document that is being checked in and out, and resaved by multiple users?
If there isn't an obvious built in versioning solution in InCopy then how do people go about keeping versions of a document with InCopy?
Interested to hear what solutions have been tried and tested.

Why isn't InCopy part of the Creative Cloud?!
So: I start wading through all of the impressive programs available now that I have been assimilated by the Borg, but I discover that the one I really need for collaborative editing—InCopy—is not available. Wait, what?! It should be an essential part of InDesign.

Unable to open InCopy file I closed yesterday: unclosed token error.
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.

Incopy crashes when opening large Indd-files
We are publishers of a magazine. One layouter on Indesign, and two writers on Incopy. What happens frequently is, that after a while, when the Indd-file becomes fairly big, Incopy stalls on opening the file. Sometimes it opens it in text-mode, but we can't switch to layout-mode. But mostly we don't even come that far. Right now, we are unable to open the file at all under Incopy. We have NO idea how to troubleshoot this, and it's seems independent of size, because we can open other large files. But it regularly happens with our magazine, once the file gets filled with graphics. Is there a log-file that would give us a clue what is happening?

Text looks gray in Incopy
I have an Incopy user who when opening an INDD file sees the text as gray. The text has been exported as a story. When she checks the story out, the text appears as black. When she checks it back in, it turns gray again. I've never seen this. I thought it might be a preference, but when I looked in the preference panels I didn't see anything that looked like it would cause this. We're in CS6 (8.0.2)

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?

Is there a way to auto-renumber tables and figures in an InCopy document?
I am looking for a script or plugin to be able to auto-renumber figures and tables in large InDesign/InCopy documents. Say if I add a new figure in between figures 4 and 5 I would like all following figures to automatically renumber and all references to those figures in the text to also auto-renumber like in a Word document. Possible? We have over 100 authors that are concerned this can't work. Need help.
