USING INCOPY CS4 262 XML Preparing XML files for K4 or InCopy workflows To prepare files with XML tagging for use within the K4 or InDesign/InCopy workflow environments, you may need to adjust how you prepare the structure and import XML into InDesign files. There are two methods for importing XML into InDesign: merge and append. Merge can replace the existing structure, whereas append adds to any existing structure. In both cases, it is important that the root element is not associated with a text frame. Either use the default element named "Root" or rename this element based on your current workflow or requirement as needed, again being sure that it is not associated with a text frame. For more information on using XML in K4 or InCopy workflows, contact your system administrator.
