How to open INCT file?

The main problem with InCopy Template is that the INCT file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open INCT, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the INCT file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.

Step 1. Install Adobe InCopy

In this case, you should first verify that the Adobe InCopy application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Adobe InCopy into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file INCT with Adobe InCopy. Below is a list of programs that support the file INCT.

Remember to download programs supporting INCT files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Adobe InCopy with INCT files

If, despite the installed application, the INCT file does not start in the Adobe InCopy application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the INCT file with the Adobe InCopy program.

Step 3. Update Adobe InCopy to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the Adobe InCopy program, it is possible that InCopy Template requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Adobe Systems Incorporated website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the INCT file

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the INCT file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our INCT file. However, remember that not every infected INCT file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of INCT file may not always be supported by the latest software version. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular INCT file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Adobe Systems help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted INCT files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the INCT file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the INCT file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file INCT to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the INCT file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
