Incopy/indesign version compatibility question

Hi all,
I feel like this should be something easy to find in Adobe's information, but I couldn't find it.  Maybe I'm just slow.
OK, we are a small (free) weekly newspaper.  The person who puts the paper together uses InDesign CS5.  We do not currently have InCopy.  We would like to get InCopy for one of our editors, to work with in the documents made by the person with InDesign CS5. 
My question of course being...since we can apparently only buy InCopy CS6 now (maybe 5.5 if we really hurry) will it be able to work with the older version of InDesign, or would our InDesign need to be updated to CS6 as well?
Being a small free paper, we cannot afford to do that...thus my question.  While I understand I could have called an Adobe rep, I don't have time to deal with a sales person at this point, just trying to gather information for my boss.
Thanks!

Hurry and buy CS5.5 now. You can work that with one exception. Remote packaging won’t work.
Dropbox is very good alternative to that. But again. HURRY! Come Monday CS5.5 won’t be available and nothing will work.
You should be eligible for a free upgrade to CS6 as well.

  • Version Compatibility Question

    Can an applet or application created in an older version still work with a newer version without recompiling in the newer version? I have code from 1.3 that I want to work with 1.4 but don't want to make new users download both 1.3 and 1.4 jre's and also don't want to have to recompile all the older code everytime a new version is released. If a 1.3 applet is downloaded to run and the 1.3 jre isn't installed but the 1.4 is, I am asked to download 1.3. Is there a line in the applet tag that specifies which version to use? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

    But doesn't specifying the plugin version in the
    object tag require them to have a specific version of
    the plugin installed. ie. if they have 1.4 installed,
    but the object tag want 1.3 then it will attempt to
    install 1.3.Not quite. It will only install a new version if the version you currently have is older (i.e. a lower version number) than the version specified in the object tag. If 1.4 is installed, then it can run 1.3 without an installation.
    This behavior makes sense but it can be problematic at times. For example, our applet works fine with 1.3.0 and 1.3.1_01 but fails with 1.3.1_02 for some reason. If a user has 1.3.1_02, we have to ask them to manually uninstall the JRE and then hit our app. Anyone have a way to get around this?

  • InCopy/Indesign workflow issues

    I have an InCopy/Indesign collab workflow question.
    Myself (designer) and a colleague (writer) are trialling using InCopy 6 with InDesign CS5.5. There seems to be issues with the InDesign document refreshing once the writer has made changes using InCopy, and vice versa. We are working on the same server. .icml files don't seem to give alerts in InDesign that they need to be updated.
    Can anyone see any reasons why this may be happening?

    Thanks, yes I suspected the different versions could have been a problem.
    What do you mean you don't get alerts?
    When the InDesign document has been edited and saved using InCopy, the text box links (.icml files) that were edited should automatically appear as out-of-date in the links panel when it is next opened in InDesign, just as other links are displayed when they have been edited. But this doesn't happen, and I then have to manually update them to make sure they are the latest version of the link.
    Any thoughts? Could this all just boil down to using the same version of software?
    Thanks in advance.

  • InCopy SC5 and InDesign CS4 compatibility

    Hello,
    I’m on an older Mac G5, 10.4.11 and I am running CS4. The editor I work with is on a new iMac, 10.6.3 Intel Core I3 with InCopy CS5.
    I’ve set-up my InDesign assignments for the editor to edit in InCopy.  My only options when creating the assignments were to save as CS3 or CS4. I’ve saved the assignments in CS4. The editor in InCopy isn’t able to see the layout view on some of the assignments/stories and also isn’t able to make any changes in any of the different views.
    When she tries to “check out” the file she is prompted with this message, “Unable to lock the following files:Workshop:PRODUCTION:INCOPY-INDESIGN EXHANCE:2010 Magazines-InCopy:HE10 Fall-InCopy:Celebrating 25years-Hiring .icml.”
    The InCopy files are located on a server we both can access. I’ve made sure that her username is correct when I assigned the files.
    My questions are could this be a server issue because the InCopy assignments are saved on a server and there is a problem with her username or password or could this be a compatibility issue between InDesign CS4 and InCopyCS5?
    Please help,
    spoimme

    The main problem is that you're on CS4 and the other person is on CS5. These applications were not meant to be used that way.
    You'll need a new computer to upgrade to CS5 for this work successfully (CS5 is Intel only). But I would also suggest that the editor run the CS5 7.0.2 patch which was released this morning and does address some issues that might be at work here.
    Even it does, you need to be aware that because of text engine changes you will not likely be able to get a true indication of copy fit from one person to the other.

  • Is is possible to use creative cloud as a shared volume for collaboration between incopy & indesign?

    I'm a designer student and as a designer, I constantly have to make decks for presentations.  I typically work in a group of six and because I'm confident with graphic design, I tend to be the leader of these tasks.  I've found the best workflow for slide creation is Indesign.  Unfortunatly, I'm just an awful writer— so when I heard about Incopy's collabrative features(saw the post from indesign's facebook page) I saw oppertunity and got very excited.  My teamates and I typically all have subscriptions to adobe cc because of this, I was wondering (since I havent used it at all) if the storage given out from adobe cc was able to be that shared volume that is required for the live link between incopy stories and indesign layouts.
    Therefore,
    Is is possible to use creative cloud as a shared volume for collaboration between Incopy & Indesign?
    If this needs any further clarification I'll gladly write a more detailed question — lastly, if this is not possible might you suggest an alternative?  Please assume that we go to school together but we work offsite also.

    You will not be able to use the Files page at https://creative.adobe.com/files for collaboration in this way. But you can share individual files in this way.
    When folder sharing is available this will be possible.

  • Mini Bridge Missing from InDesign CS6 after Upgrade to InDesign Version 8.1

    I discussed this same problem https://forums.adobe.com/message/5833991 after upgrading to the prior version 8.0.2 of InDesign.
    After upgrading to InDesign Version 8.1, Mini Bridge no longer works.  Mini Bridge does not show under the Window menu and shift-clicking the Bridge icon opens the full Bridge, not Mini Bridge.
    With the prior version 8.0.2 problem, I was able to recover Mini Bridge by doing a re-install of InDesign under Window's Safe Mode.  Microsoft has somehow changed Safe Mode and I can no longer do the reinstall using Safe Mode.  I have tried several different ways of reinstalling version 8.1, but none of them correct this problem.  Still no Mini Bridge.
    Mini Bridge does work in Photoshop CS6 with no problem.
    I have read through all of the messages that seem to relate to this problem in this forum, but none of the suggested solutions work for me.
    Can anyone provide me with an answer?  If not, how do I get help from Adobe?  I am willing to pay for support, if necessary.

    RESOLVED - I can't believe it, but I have actually figured this out.
    Getting frustrated with going in circles, I decided to dig into security options.  First off, I opened Windows' Properties for the start-up icon for InDesign.  Right off, I noticed under the Compatibility tab that InDesign was set to run in Compatibility Mode for Windows XP (Service Pack 3).  This did not seem right, so I turned off the option to run in Compatibility Mode and re-started up InDesign.  Low and behold, the option Window | Mini Bridge was now displayed!  And it worked!
    Sorry to have bothered you gentlemen with this problem.  I really appreciate your assistance!
    Mark.

  • InCopy/InDesign CS3 Assignment Problem

    Hello everyone--
    For the past three years we've used Version Cue CS3 for workflow on our publication.  For the most part its worked fine.  Recently though, we've had to get a new computer for an office on the West Coast and a new router on our office on the East Coast (the operating system we use on the East Coast is Windows XP Profesional.)  The computer on the West Coast is running Windows 7, and it seems InCopy CS3 installed on it without a problem--until it came time to do our publication.
    The way our system is set up is the West Coast machine uses a VPN tunnel to see our network here--so all it really has to do is connect to the Version Cue server's IP address.  This set up worked fine when the machine was a Windows XP based machine, but since the changeover, InCopy doesn't seem to be reading the assignment files correctly.  For example, on an Indesign File the copy fits fine and dandy in the layout, and the assignment looks okay when I open it up on InCopy over here.  When InCopy opens it up on the Windows 7 machine, the body copy is invariably 3-5 lines over and any formatting changes made from the Windows 7 machine, like changing words to italics, won't be reflected on the updated assignments file. (I confirmed this by emailing our West Coast editor the assignment file directly and InCopy CS3 still wasn't reading it correctly.)  Also, at one point we apparently lost some big changes made over the weekend but changes like new headlines held.  Any ideas on why this is happening?
    Also, and I'm not sure this is related, but since we installed our new RV082 router, we've been getting strange "Version Cue server offline messages" every so often, and then when we go into a project Version Cue suddenly reads it as "online and connected" again. InDesign CS3 often hangs whenever we try to open up a file on the Version Cue server.  The only way we've been able to get InDesign to start up is to delete the recovery folders and synchronize everything first--this, needless to say, has been a bit of a time waster.
    All our programs are CS3 and except for the West Coast machine, all are running Windows XP pro.
    Thanks for your help!

    We are installing and using the software under the administrator logins.
    My main concern is that we purchased computers that have a processor that is incompatible with Adobe InCopy/InDesign CS3.   We purchased two types of PC's, some with AMD Atholon II processors and some with Intel Core2 vpro processors.  InDesign/Incopy CS3 were going to go on the Intel's (more power computer) and the InCopy was going to only go on the AMD's.
    Prior to receiving the CS3 versions of the software, I hadn't been aware that was the version we were being assigned by our corporate office.  After looking at the requirements of CS3 on the adobe site, it only mentions Intel Processors as basic requirements.
    (We purchasd the computers with AMD's to save some money....the users requiring InCopy didn't need "as much computer" as the InDesign users).
    Could the processor be the problem?

  • Photoshop Extended version compatability

    I have Photoshop CS3 Extended on both PC (Windows XP) and Mac (OS X Leopard). I'm able to upgrade the PC to CS5 Extended but not the Mac.
    My questions are:
    1 - Will Photoshop CS5 extended work on Windows XP?
    2 - Are CS3 and CS5 backwards compatible - if I work on a document in PC CS5 will the Mac CS5 version be able to open it? I know there will be some things that would not translate backwards, such as Puppet Warp and some of the newer masking and layers features, but I'd still like to be able to work on more basic functions of masking, cloning, etc. on both computers.
    Thanks for any help,
    Marcy

    -Noel
    My take is that the compatibility setting should be set based on the kind of work one does.  I have it set to  "Never".  When you check this setting ON you tell Photoshop to save along with all your layers another entity, which is a flattened version of the image. This, makes every PSD file you save larger by a non trival amount.
    So this setting should have no effect regarding Photoshop to Photoshop version compatibility. All Photoshop versions understand layers and do not need a flattened version.  It's intended to maximize the compatibility between Photoshop and any other program  that does not know about  layers but reads PSD files. If you have many of your PSD files going to, for example,  Lightroom or Premiere then set it to "Always". If not, you can set it to "Ask" or "Never" and save yourself a lot of storage space.

  • Incopy / Indesign workflow

  • Indesign-incopy-indesign workflow problem

    sorry for my bad english :)
    i hope someone can help me, i have no more ideas ...
    this is the problem in our indesign-incopy-indesign work flow:
    only the indesign user, which has created the indesign file (with the incopy-links) can read the content pasted via incopy.
    every other indesign user (who hasn't anything to do with the creation of the indesign-file) can't see the content (which is pasted via incopy).
    changes done with indesign are viewable for everyone!
    there are any problems with the linkage, i would guess ...
    if you change the links for every single text-part manually (to the correct location on the version cue server), there are no more problems ...
    the linkage is changed like this:
    doesn't work:
    \\Home-server\home-mydocs\AndererUser\Version Cue\DataSheets\fileX...
    works:
    C:\Documents and Settings\Ich\My Documents\Version Cue\DataSheets\fileX...
    it also works for everyone, after the first indesign user (which has created the file) has opened the indesign-file, updated the incopy links and checked the file in.
    everyone has admin-rights, the project is shared ...

    Hi Ruffus,
    Unfortunately different versions of InDesign and InCopy do not work well with each other. Newer versions of the program should be able to open older files, but they cannot save backwards. I am not sure what is causing the errors with the newer versions of InCopy however.
    Are you able to open the CS6 InCopy files on your computers?   

  • InCopy / InDesign CS3 - won't load software but appears in task mgr

    We are going through a computer upgrade and am trying to install Adobe CS3 InCopy and InDesign on these new machines.
    We purchased HP 6005 Pro PC's with AMD Athlon II processors and are running Windows XP operating system.
    Installing both pieces of software goes though fine.  But when you try to turn on the programs, nothing happens.  Nothing loads on the screen.  The only thing shows that the software is running is in the Task Manager.
    We have plenty of memory, plenty of hard drive space.  But we can't figure out why the software won't load onto our screens.  After extensive research online, the only thing we can find is that there could be a driver incompatibility.  Nothing conclusive on whether our processors are incompatible either.
    Does anyone have any insight on the issue?

  • WAP54G Version compatibility

    I am trying to create a wireless bridge between a network with ip's 198.1.1.xxx (this network has the gateway) to a network with ip's 198.1.2.xxx -  so that it can access the internet thru the gateway).  Both AP's are WAP54G set to bridge mode. Both are configured identically except for the IP numbers.  SSID broadcast disabled and security off.  From everything I have read, I should be able to ping (example 4.2.2.2) from 198.1.2.xxx - but cannot.  The only difference I can see it that one of the WAP54G's is version 2 and the other is Version 3.  Both have firmware 3.0.4.
    Question: Can anyone confirm that I can or cannot create a wireless bridge with differing versions of the same device?
    As a plan B, I have on order a WET200.  Should I have two on order to act as a matched pair as the WAP54G's had to be?
    Thank you.
    Craig

    I work with psd, indd and illu/eps files. I've heard the weird argument that "cause of new features it's not possible to be version compatible, but that's down right silly. Text on top of an image should be readable in any version. Even with a copule of adjustment layers it should be no problems with version compatibility. That Adobe choose to lock and force is another story. I guess I will be sticking to my CS6 version in the years to come. I paid a lot of money for that Master Collection. I also corresponde files with many CS4 users on the client side.

  • Need to keep CS6 CC InDesign version

    I need to keep the CC CS6 InDesign Version. How do I do this?

    I suggest you explain your question in a little more detail.  There are several ways your short question could be interpreted.  Some examples:
    A. You are a current CC subscriber and plan to continue being one but you want to know if you can "freeze" your InDesign version for some period of time (in other words, not automatically accept version changes but continue to pay for access to the software).
    B. You are a current CC subscriber to the whole CC bundle and you would like to start paying ONLY for InDesign.
    C. You are a current CC subscriber to some CC plan that includes InDesign but you don't want to pay for CC anymore.  You want to know if you can continue to use InDesign without continuing to pay.
    D. English is not your primary language and you just want to know how to find the version number of the InDesign you are using.
