    Text Macros

    Michael_OSP Community Member

      I thought I knew where InCopy saves the text macros (C:\Users\myuseraccount\AppData\Local\Adobe\InCopy\Version 9.0\en_US\Caches), based on information I got from an Adobe tech working with us on DPS, but when I copy that whole folder to another user's computer the macros do not show up.

       

      So evidently that is not the correct location where the macros are saved; does anyone know the correct location? And why doesn't InCopy have a way to share the macros or is there a way since multiple people are working on the same document and you think everyone having the same macros would be something just as common as a fish having gills.

       

      Thanks in advance!

          No, the Caches folder is just for temp files.

           

          InCopy macros, saved find/change queries, glyph sets, Word import Presets and the like are all in the User's InCopy Preferences folder. The fastest way to get there is to right-click on the User folder in the Scripts panel (Window > Utilities > Scripts) and choose Reveal in Explorer from the contextual menu. That will bring you to your user account's InCopy Preferences > Scripts folder, and the "InCopy Text Macros" file is at the same level as that Scripts folder.

            Thank you AnneMarie!

             

            I found it the other day by finding where the GREPS are saved. Adobe sure loves to bury where these files are stored!

             

            Still don’t understand why the macros aren’t somehow attached to the InDesingn file since many InCopy users would benefit from everyone having the same macros.
