Anne-Marie ConcepcionMemberAlan I thought your answer was brilliant! Thank you so much for helping out.
Anne-Marie ConcepcionMemberWhen you do export, are the cross-refs not working in the epub?
Are you sure it’s not talking about anchors from a TOC?

I’ve never heard of an ebook designer or creator adding it themselves.
The eResellers, libraries, and large publishers selling epubs from their own site typically have an account with Adobe, using the Adobe Content Server, which costs thousands of dollars. This is the mechanism that DRM is added.
https://www.adobe.com/solutions/ebook/content-server.htmlThere are many people including myself who are against DRM in ebooks, because it makes it hard for the user to move books to different ereaders and read them. In other words it punishes the most innocent user — the buyer — and offers little impedance for the pirates who can easily crack DRM (look it up on YouTube) and then redistribute through filesharing sites. It’s an ongoing debate.
Hope this helps!
AMAnne-Marie ConcepcionMemberI agree w/Chad that you’ve stumbled into a bug and are trying to trick the bug into working for you. ;-D Or maybe not a bug, just an area of InDesign that the programmers ran out of time/resources to deal with long ago. Anchored text frames lose a significant part of their identity when they’re anchored, for example, you can’t thread text into/out of them either.
I would not bother trying to force it to work because I’m afraid it would make the document/story a little “fragile” .. prone to corruption. Or at least user errors.
So you’re trying to create a workflow where:
1. The InDesign user pours copy into a story and into some additional stories
2. The InDesign user exports all those stories to InCopy format
3. (for some reason I don’t understand) The InDesign user anchors some of those add’l stories into the main story (note it’d have to be the ID user who does this, IC users can’t anchor anything) without losing the unique links to the ICML files of neither the parent story nor its anchored stories.
4. The IC user opens the layout and checks out and edits all the stories included the anchored ones
5. The ID user updates the layout and then decides to unanchor stories and place them elsewhere, but maintaining their unique link.Is that it?
If so i’m curious why the ID user needs to anchor the stories. Why not leave them on the side of the page or in the pasteboard even.

Anne-Marie ConcepcionMemberYay! Welcome to our world Steph. ;-D You will enjoy it! Always stop by here w/questions.

Anne-Marie ConcepcionMemberPerfectly fine to link to other scripts!
Anne-Marie ConcepcionMemberYay!
Anne-Marie ConcepcionMemberI’m so sorry Clark, I have not encountered this problem.
You’re exporting to reflowable epub? Have you tried exporting to epub 3 to see if it makes any difference?

Anne-Marie ConcepcionMemberThe Keep options only go into effect when the paragraph/lines are at the bottom of a column or threaded frame. They’re designed to keep all of the lines in the paragraph together *in a column* (in a multi-columned frame) or in a *frame* (when the frame is threaded from one to the next).
They don’t apply when an object is causing text wrap in the middle of a column or frame, though that would be a great feature request. ;D
If you moved that object to the bottom of the frame, then you’d see what you want … paragraphs jumping to the top of the next column in order to keep their lines together.
To get the Keeps to work with your layout, you’d have to split the columns into two, top half and bottom half, one above the wrapped object and a threaded one below it. ;-(

Anne-Marie ConcepcionMemberYou can do batch search/replace on all the files in a folder (such as the expanded epub folder) in many text utilities like Text Wrangler or BBEdit on a Mac, or NotePad++ on Windows.
Thanks for the referral!
