When working with random InCopy documents (Old/New), checking In and checking Out at certain intervals causes corruption in the underlying structure of these icml files. This corruption occurs due to an extra <xml></xml> node is automatically added at uncertain location within an icml document.
To fix these corrupt InCopy documents follow below steps
-
-
Download UltraEdit or TextEdit on Mac/Windows.
-
Open the corrupted icml file within TextEdit/UltraEdit
-
Press Ctrl+F to start finding the node entry: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
-
When a second entry of this exact node entry: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?> is found, delete the text starting from the second instance of tag
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
and deleting till the first instance of tag </Document>
-
Save the icml file and open the icml file within InCopy or place it within InDesign to continue working with the document.
