Judy ... if you're editing a package, it's hard to tell just by looking at the layout in InCopy. It looks the same as though you were editing any old assignment or layout. But if you open the Assignments panel in InCopy, if you see an icon of a little gift-wrapped package to the right of the Assignment name, then you're working on an assignment package. If not, there will be no icon to the right of the assignment name.

What did the designer send you to work on? You just said "files." Are they standalone InCopy documents (.incx)? Is it an assignment (.inca extension)? Is it a layout file (.indd)? See if you can find the original thing(s) you got from the designer.

If they actually sent you an *assignment package,* then it would be in the form of a single .incp file (InCopy Package), probably attached to an e-mail. Double-clicking the .incp file silently "unpacks" its contents to a folder on your computer and automatically opens one of them, the assignment file, in InCopy.
