Upgrading From Previous Versions of InDesignInCopy


Upgrading From Previous Versions of InDesign/InCopy

If you're upgrading from InDesign/InCopy CS to InDesign/InCopy CS2, we don't recommend that you change your software in the middle of a publication cycle. It's not that we anticipate any problems in upgrading to CS2, but upgrading any important software or altering a workflow when deadlines are looming is inherently risky. Instead, we recommend that you finish your current publication and start the next one with the CS2 version products. However, if you must switch from CS to CS2 in the middle of a project, follow these steps:

1.

Have all InCopy CS users check in all their stories.

2.

Open InDesign files in InDesign CS, select all InCopy stories in the Links palette, and choose Unlink from the palette menu to unlink all InCopy CS (.incd) files.

3.

Save and close the InDesign files with InDesign CS.

4.

Open the InDesign CS file with InDesign CS2 to update the document to the latest file format version and prepare it for compatibility with InDesign CS2 and InCopy CS2.

5.

Re-export all InCopy stories in the InCopy CS2 format (.incx). Create InCopy Assignments (.inca) as needed.

By going through this conversion process, you ensure that all your InDesign and InCopy files are converted to the latest versions of the InDesign and InCopy file formats. You also avoid the problem of accidentally breaking links to InCopy stories due to the file extension change from .incd to .incx.

We hope this chapter has been helpful. In the next chapter we outline three possible workflow scenarios that will help you find the right solution for your publication.
