    Unable to open InCopy file I closed yesterday: unclosed token error.

    IowaBoy9 Community Member

      I have not been able to find anything on this issue. I am using InCopy CS5 (7.0.4). I am preparing stand-alone InCopy files for InDesign layout. In other words, these files are not part of InCopy workflow.

       

      When I try to open a file I closed yesterday, I get the error message: unclosed token.

       

      No options to restore the file. Nothing. I guess I have to kiss that file good-bye.

       

      Any suggestions?

       

      Note: I must first say that InCopy CS5 has got to be one of the most unstable pieces of software I have ever used. It has crashed nearly once an hour since I started this project. (Don't get me wrong. I am a fan of InCopy/InDesign. There is no better way to integrate xml into the publishing cycle, for example.) But as an example of the unstable behavior, I will be copying and pasting text from one place to another when the beach ball will start spinning. Then InCopy crashes. In a few minutes, the crash report window appears. After answering the various dialog boxes, my file(s) come back.
