Hi Eric, I see that there are more people who have similar problems to mine, with InCopy.
I work in a veterinary publisher. My job is a magazine layout using Indesign. In my template I put the InCopy files created by my colleague, editor of content. I create assignments for articles and then she makes corrections in InCopy file. In my indd document, I update assignments, and when everything is right, I unassign and you are ready to post.
Everything worked fine until recently. When I had to update multiple assignments (step 4 on your list), error!: indd document and program (step 5) are closed. Several attempts without result. Indd document is corrupted.
My editor works on PC, I work on mac… I think there is a program version conflict.
Eric: our problem is similar but not identical. Sorry I can not give a solution for you.
Someone can help Eric and me?
