selection and apply that formatting to different text. Customize which attributes to apply in the Eyedropper Tool Options dialog box. See “Copy type attributes (Eyedropper)” on page 180. Paragraphs that span columns In InCopy CS5, you can make a paragraph span multiple columns. You can also split a paragraph into multiple columns within the same text frame. See “Create paragraphs that span or split columns” on page 204. Caption variables In InDesign CS5, you can generate captions based on image metadata using a number of methods. Live captions use a new text variable called Metadata Caption. You can create or edit caption text variables for use in InDesign. See “Define caption variables” on page 127. Collaboration Track change feature enhancements The Track Changes feature is now available in both InCopy CS5 and InDesign CS5. In InCopy, the Track Changes toolbar includes icons that are more intuitive. The Changes menu includes additional options for accepting and rejecting changes in either the current story or in all stories. You can also accept and reject changes from individual participants. See “Tracking and reviewing changes” on page 133. Mini Bridge Mini Bridge is a subset of Adobe Bridge that is available as a panel within InCopy. See previews of files on your local hard drive or server without launching Adobe Bridge and leaving InCopy. Drag and drop files into editable frames or open files directly in InCopy in fewer steps and in less time. Improved Adobe Bridge integration A new File Handling preference option lets you generate page thumbnails for more than the first page of InCopy files. The default number of pages to generate thumbnails for is set to 2, but you can change it to 1, 2, 5, 10, or All. You can now see previews of pages in the Preview pane of Bridge. Choosing more thumbnail pages may cause your InCopy document to take longer to save. See “Using Adobe Bridge with InCopy” on page 31. Document installed fonts In InDesign CS5, if you choose to include the document fonts when using the Package command, InDesign generates a folder named “Document Fonts.” If you open an InDesign or InCopy file located in the same parent folder that this Document Fonts folder is located in, these fonts are automatically installed for you. See “Document installed fonts” on page 187. Last updated 5/15/2011 2 USING INCOPY What’s new Buzzword integration Buzzword is a web-based text editor that lets users create and store text files on a web server. In InCopy CS5, you can import and export text from Buzzword documents. See “Import Buzzword documents” on page 90 and “Export content to Buzzword” on page 34. Usability and productivity Enhanced layers The Layers panel in InCopy gives you more control over your documents. You can hide or lock individual page items in a layer. See “Use layers” on page 40. Save performance improvements Close documents and save changes to multiple stories faster than before due to multithreading implementation. Use the Background Tasks panel (Window > Utilities > Background Tasks) to view the progress of ongoing processes. Tool Hints panel The Tool Hints panel lists all the hidden modifier key behaviors available for the currently selected tool. See “View tool hints” on page 12. Community Help Adobe Community Help offers access to complete Adobe product documentation as well as to community-created learning content and other learning content on Adobe.com. Adobe Community Help includes an AIR-based viewer that displays the latest online Help or defaults to a local version of Help when a web connection is unavailable. Community Help also includes expert-moderated comments and user ratings on Adobe documentation, knowledgebase articles, tutorials, and other content. Edit Original for multiple selected items If you select multiple placed images on your page or in the Links panel, you can choose the Edit Original command to open the images in their respective editing applications. See “Edit original artwork” on page 52. Miscellaneous enhancements Zoom from dialog boxes You can now use the keyboard shortcuts to zoom in and out of your document when you have a modal dialog box open in Layout view. Press Ctrl+- or Ctrl+= (Windows) or Command+- or Command +=. Sticky Preview check boxes InCopy now remembers whether the Preview checkbox is selected in a dialog box after you exit and restart. Collate option The Print dialog box includes a Collate option that helps you avoid manually sorting the printout. New default font The default font is changed from Times (Mac) and Times New Roman (Windows) to the crossplatform OpenType version of Minion Pro Regular. Collapse multiple links to same source In InCopy CS5, links to images placed multiple times in a document are collapsed into a single row in the Links panel. You can now turn off this collapsing behavior with a new option in the Panel Options dialog box. Menu commands changed or moved The following menu commands have new locations. Choose Window > Workspace > [New in CS5] to highlight menu commands of new and enhanced features.

Any arrangement of these elements is called a workspace. The workspaces of the different applications in Adobe® Creative Suite® 5 share the same appearance so that you can move between the applications easily. You can also adapt each application to the way you work by selecting from several preset workspaces or by creating one of your own. Although the default workspace layout varies in different products, you manipulate the elements much the same way in all of them. A B C D E G F H Default Illustrator workspace A.

On the Mac for certain products, you can show or hide it using the Window menu. • The Tools panel contains tools for creating and editing images, artwork, page elements, and so on. Related tools are grouped. Last updated 5/15/2011 5 USING INCOPY Workspace • The Control panel displays options for the currently selected tool. In Illustrator, the Control panel displays options for the currently selected object. (In Adobe Photoshop® this is known as the Options bar. In Adobe Flash®, Adobe Dreamweaver®, and Adobe Fireworks® this is known as the Property Inspector and includes properties of the currently selected element.) • The Document window displays the file you’re working on. Document windows can be tabbed and, in certain cases, grouped and docked. • Panels help you monitor and modify your work. Examples include the Timeline in Flash, the Brush panel in Illustrator, the Layers panel in Adobe Photoshop®, and the CSS Styles panel in Dreamweaver. Panels can be grouped, stacked, or docked. • The Application frame groups all the workspace elements in a single, integrated window that lets you treat the application as a single unit. When you move or resize the Application frame or any of its elements, all the elements within it respond to each other so none overlap. Panels don’t disappear when you switch applications or when you accidentally click out of the application. If you work with two or more applications, you can position each application side by side on the screen or on multiple monitors. If you are using a Mac and prefer the traditional, free-form user interface, you can turn off the Application frame. In Adobe Illustrator®, for example, select Window > Application Frame to toggle it on or off. (In Flash, the Application frame is on permanently for Mac, and Dreamweaver for Mac does not use an Application frame.)

Manage windows and panels You can create a custom workspace by moving and manipulating Document windows and panels. You can also save workspaces and switch among them. For Fireworks, renaming custom workspaces can lead to unexpected behavior. Note: The following examples use Photoshop for demonstration purposes. The workspace behaves the same in all the products. Rearrange, dock, or float document windows When you open more than one file, the Document windows are tabbed. • To rearrange the order of tabbed Document windows, drag a window’s tab to a new location in the group. • To undock (float or untab) a Document window from a group of windows, drag the window’s tab out of the group. Note: In Photoshop you can also choose Window > Arrange > Float in Window to float a single Document window, or Window > Arrange > Float All In Windows to float all of the Document windows at once. See tech note kb405298 for more information. Note: Dreamweaver does not support docking and undocking Document windows. Use the Document window’s Minimize button to create floating windows (Windows), or choose Window > Tile Vertically to create side-by-side Document windows. Search “Tile Vertically” in Dreamweaver Help for more information on this topic. The workflow is slightly different for Macintosh users. • To dock a Document window to a separate group of Document windows, drag the window into the group. • To create groups of stacked or tiled documents, drag the window to one of the drop zones along the top, bottom, or sides of another window. You can also select a layout for the group by using the Layout button on the Application bar. Note: Some products do not support this functionality. However, your product may have Cascade and Tile commands in the Window menu to help you lay out your documents. • To switch to another document in a tabbed group when dragging a selection, drag the selection over the document’s tab for a moment. Note: Some products do not support this functionality. Dock and undock panels A dock is a collection of panels or panel groups displayed together, generally in a vertical orientation. You dock and undock panels by moving them into and out of a dock. • To dock a panel, drag it by its tab into the dock, at the top, bottom, or in between other panels. • To dock a panel group, drag it by its title bar (the solid empty bar above the tabs) into the dock. • To remove a panel or panel group, drag it out of the dock by its tab or title bar. You can drag it into another dock or make it free-floating.

Drag the bottom edge of the dock up so it no longer meets the edge of the workspace. Move panels As you move panels, you see blue highlighted drop zones, areas where you can move the panel. For example, you can move a panel up or down in a dock by dragging it to the narrow blue drop zone above or below another panel. If you drag to an area that is not a drop zone, the panel floats freely in the workspace. Note: The position of the mouse (rather than the position of the panel), activates the drop zone, so if you can’t see the drop zone, try dragging the mouse to the place where the drop zone should be. • To move a panel, drag it by its tab. • To move a panel group, drag the title bar.

Stack floating panels When you drag a panel out of its dock but not into a drop zone, the panel floats freely. The floating panel allows you to position it anywhere in the workspace. You can stack floating panels or panel groups so that they move as a unit when you drag the topmost title bar. Free-floating stacked panels • To stack floating panels, drag a panel by its tab to the drop zone at the bottom of another panel. • To change the stacking order, drag a panel up or down by its tab. Note: Be sure to release the tab over the narrow drop zone between panels, rather than the broad drop zone in a title bar. • To remove a panel or panel group from the stack, so that it floats by itself, drag it out by its tab or title bar. Resize panels • To minimize or maximize a panel, panel group, or stack of panels, double-click a tab. You can also double-click the tab area (the empty space next to the tabs). • To resize a panel, drag any side of the panel. Some panels, such as the Color panel in Photoshop, cannot be resized by dragging. Last updated 5/15/2011 9 USING INCOPY Workspace Collapse and expand panel icons You can collapse panels to icons to reduce clutter on the workspace. In some cases, panels are collapsed to icons in the default workspace. Panels collapsed to icons Panels expanded from icons • To collapse or expand all panel icons in a column, click the double arrow at the top of the dock. • To expand a single panel icon, click it. • To resize panel icons so that you see only the icons (and not the labels), adjust the width of the dock until the text disappears. To display the icon text again, make the dock wider. • To collapse an expanded panel back to its icon, click its tab, its icon, or the double arrow in the panel’s title bar. In some products, if you select Auto-Collapse Icon Panels from the Interface or User Interface Options preferences, an expanded panel icon collapses automatically when you click away from it. • To add a floating panel or panel group to an icon dock, drag it in by its tab or title bar. (Panels are automatically collapsed to icons when added to an icon dock.) • To move a panel icon (or panel icon group), drag the icon. You can drag panel icons up and down in the dock, into other docks (where they appear in the panel style of that dock), or outside the dock (where they appear as floating icons).

Viewing stories Galley, Story, and Layout view overview InCopy offers three views of a story: Galley, Story, and Layout. These terms correspond to the terms used in traditional publishing. Galley view Displays text with line breaks established in the corresponding Adobe InDesign® document. If text doesn’t fit into the assigned layout space, an overset indicator marks the point at which the InCopy text exceeds the space. Although you can use InCopy to apply formatting, such as paragraph indents and font size, these formats don’t appear in Galley view.

About Galley view Galley view provides an environment for efficient text processing; text is easy to read and annotate. You can also use Galley view to perform copyfitting and other production-related tasks. When you open an InDesign document in InCopy, working in Galley view is analogous to working with galley proofs in traditional typesetting. Within the viewing area, the text wraps exactly as it will in the final InDesign layout, and all text is displayed in one column, regardless of how many columns exist in the layout. Page breaks, frame breaks, and column breaks are shown by a line with the words “Page break,” “Frame break,” or “Column break” in the center of the line. Note: When multiple breaks are represented by a single boundary, such as a page break coinciding with a frame break, the break with the highest priority is displayed. Page breaks have the highest priority, and column breaks have the lowest. Galley view includes the Copyfit break feature, which indicates the point at which the InCopy text exceeds the layout space assigned for it in InDesign. By default, Galley view displays text at 12 points. You can change the font, size, or spacing to make text easier to read or edit. You can also change the background and font colors. Note: The font display size applies to all stories, rather than individual characters, words, or paragraphs.

The vertical depth ruler draws a ruler along the left edge of the Galley and Story views. Each tick mark in the ruler aligns to the bottom of a line of text. A value is displayed every five tick marks to show the total vertical depth of the text to that point. The depth is updated dynamically when layout composition for the portion of the document is complete. The depth measurement uses the vertical units setting in Units & Increments preferences.

Layout view overview In Layout view, you see text and other elements exactly as they are formatted and positioned in an InDesign document. Stories are laid out in frames, just as they appear in InDesign. If you work with a linked story—a managed story within an open InDesign document or assignment file—you cannot modify the story layout with InCopy. You can work only with the text and text attributes. Last updated 5/15/2011 20 USING INCOPY Workspace If you work with a stand-alone InCopy document—an individual InCopy document that isn’t within an open InDesign document or assignment file—you can work with the text and text attributes, and you can change the page size using the Document Setup command. Layout view offers more tools and View-menu commands than the other views. You can use the Hand tool, the Zoom tool, and the Zoom commands to view a spread at various magnifications. You can also use various layout aids, such as rulers, document grids, and baseline grids. Note: These viewing options don’t affect formatting. For example, zooming in to enlarge your view of the page doesn’t change the way the story appears in InDesign or when printed. More Help topics “Sharing content between InCopy and InDesign” on page 62 About frames In the Layout view of a document in progress, you see one or more boxes on the page. These nonprinting boxes might contain text, graphics, or nothing. The boxes represent frames—spaces in the layout reserved for specific elements. Each frame is defined to contain either text or a graphic. Non-managed stories in an InDesign document or in an assignment file are dimmed so that they can be identified easily. Text frames Control which stories appear where, and how much page area they cover. For linked stories, frames are defined by the InDesign user. If multiple frames are set aside for a story, the frame configuration determines how the story text flows through the layout. Graphics frames Can function as borders and background, and can crop or mask graphics. You can work with graphics inside frames in InCopy, and you can see the graphics frames from InDesign layouts when you work with linked documents. You can also work with the frames of inline graphics (embedded in text), but you cannot work with other graphics frames. (See “Create an inline graphic” on page 43.) Empty frames Are placeholders. You can distinguish empty text frames from empty graphics frames by their appearance. An empty box represents an empty text frame; a box with an X across it indicates an empty graphics frame.

Last updated 5/15/2011 23 USING INCOPY Workspace Customizing preferences and defaults About preferences Preferences include settings such as panel positions, measurement options, and display options for graphics and typography. The difference between preferences and defaults is the area to which each applies. Preference settings specify the initial appearance and behavior of certain InCopy features. Default settings apply to InCopy documents. Note: InCopy preference settings are fully scriptable. To share a consistent set of preferences across user groups, develop a script to set the preferences, and then have all users in the group run the script on their computers. Don’t copy and paste one user’s preferences files onto another computer, as doing so might cause application instability. For more information about scripting, see the InCopy Scripting Guide on the Adobe website. Set defaults If you change settings when no documents are open, your changes set the defaults for new documents. If a document is open when you change settings, the changes affect only that document. Similarly, if you change settings when no objects are selected, your changes set the defaults for new objects. Change default settings for new documents 1 Close all documents. 2 Change any menu items or panel or dialog box settings. If you use the same page size and language for most of your documents, you can change these defaults with no document open. For example, to change the default page size, close all documents, choose File > Document Setup, and select a desired page size. To set a default dictionary, close all documents, choose Edit > Preferences > Dictionary (Windows) or InCopy > Preferences > Dictionary (Mac OS), and select an option from the Language menu.

Automatically recovered data exists in a temporary file that is separate from the original document file on disk. Under normal circumstances you don’t need to think about automatically recovered data, because any document updates stored in the automatic recovery file are automatically added to the original document file when you choose the Save or Save As command or exit from InCopy normally. Automatically recovered data is important only if you’re unable to save successfully before an unexpected power or system failure. Even though these features exist, you should save your files often and create backup files in case of unexpected power or system failures. Find recovered documents 1 Restart your computer. 2 Start InCopy . If automatically recovered data exists, InCopy automatically displays the recovered document. The word [Recovered] appears after the filename in the title bar of the document window to indicate that the document contains unsaved changes that were automatically recovered.

Last updated 5/15/2011 28 Chapter 3: Working with InCopy documents Using an InCopy workflow In Adobe® InCopy®, you can create stand-alone documents, or you can work with documents that are linked to Adobe® InDesign®. When you work with linked documents, you can have more than one InCopy story in an InDesign file, depending on your workflow system. Writers, editors, and designers can work simultaneously on the same InDesign document, without overwriting each other’s work. More Help topics “Sharing content between InCopy and InDesign” on page 62 “Ways to work with content in InCopy” on page 62 About InCopy workflows Tight integration between InCopy and InDesign enables a workflow that lets writers, editors, and designers work simultaneously on the same InDesign document, without overwriting each other’s work. The workflow system allows users to check files out and in, thereby preserving file integrity. InCopy users can view their content contributions within the context of layouts without installing InDesign. Using InCopy, writers and editors can take full control of text, including typesetting functions such as applying formatting styles (usually imported from InDesign), copyfitting, adjusting line and page breaks, setting hyphenation, kerning, and so on. InCopy users can import graphics to enhance their stories, and make limited transformations on those graphics, such as scaling and cropping. After the content is saved in InCopy, the document can be updated in InDesign. In addition, InDesign users can share design updates with InCopy users, ensuring they are working with the latest layouts. Typically, a system integrator customizes the interaction between InCopy and InDesign, setting up and defining the workflow system for the group. The workflow system controls file creation, synchronization (with the master server), and viewing. InCopy and InDesign work with several different workflow systems, including the built-in system enabled by the InCopy® LiveEdit Workflow plug-ins for small workgroups. For specific details about your workflow system, talk to the system integrator. About linked (managed) documents A linked InCopy document is a content file (either text or graphics) that is placed in an open InDesign document or assignment file. The content is associated with an InDesign layout, and therefore managed by the InDesign document. The InDesign user makes this connection from within InDesign; you cannot create or manage the link from InCopy. The InDesign connection can be made before the InCopy user starts writing and editing text, while the writing is in progress, or after the text work is finished. Once the content is linked, the InCopy user can see (but not change) the page layouts, styles, and so on, as they appear in the InDesign document. Last updated 5/15/2011 29 USING INCOPY Working with InCopy documents Linked documents have the following additional characteristics: • With a linked InCopy file, you can do just about anything that concerns the text itself. For example, you can specify text-formatting options, change fonts, and carry out other editing and copyfitting functions within the design and formatting limits of the InDesign layout and your workflow system. You cannot, however, change the text or graphics frames, column layout, threading sequence, or any other design elements; these are set up in InDesign. • Linked content is managed by your workflow system, where it is locked for access control. Your system might offer several options for opening a linked story, such as checking out each InCopy file so that you alone can work on it. For instructions, see your workflow system documentation or ask your system administrator, or check out content using InCopy if your workflow uses the InCopy LiveEdit Workflow plug-ins. Working with multistory files When you work with linked documents, you can have more than one InCopy story in an InDesign file, depending on your workflow system. A file with multiple stories must be created in InDesign as either an assignment file or an InDesign file with linked InCopy content. You cannot use InCopy to create a multistory document. See your workflow system documentation for details. Multiple stories are shown and separated in Galley and Story views with a story separator bar. The story separator bar provides easy access to each story created within an InDesign document. The story separator bar contains the story title and an expand and collapse button which enables you to show or hide each story. When a story is collapsed, the text is hidden and the story separator bar remains visible within the edit pane. A B C The story separator bar A. Expand and collapse button B. Story name C. Story separator bar Stand-alone documents Work with stand-alone documents An InCopy document that is not associated with an InDesign document is called a stand-alone document. You can set up and modify the text area, page size, and orientation for stand-alone documents. However, if the story is later linked to an InDesign document, the InDesign settings override the settings used in InCopy. Note: You can also click Save Preset to save document settings for future use. When creating a new document, you can simply choose it from the Document Preset menu and click OK without having to change any settings. If you’re working in an editorial workgroup, these saved presets can be shared with other members of your team. (See “Define custom document presets” on page 30.)

Last updated 5/15/2011 33 USING INCOPY Working with InCopy documents InCopy file types You can work with several different file types in InCopy. InCopy content files (.icml) This is the default file type when exporting stories or graphics from InDesign, and when saving or creating new documents using InCopy. This file type appears as InCopy Document in the Export or Save As dialog box. InCopy CS3 Interchange files (.incx) This is a legacy file type used in InCopy CS3 and earlier. Assignment files (.icma) These files are a subset of an InDesign document. They display content and styles, as well as page geometry from the parent InDesign file. Assignment files can display different levels of visual fidelity (wireframe, assigned spreads, or all spreads). The InDesign user sets these options while creating the assignment file. Only InDesign users can create assignment files; only InCopy users can open assignment files. Legacy assignment files for InCopy CS3 used the .inca extension. Assignment package files (.icap) These files are assignment files that have been compressed in InDesign for distribution. Assignment packages include the assignment file, the assigned story files, and any linked images. Legacy InCopy CS3 assignment packages used the .incp extension. Template files (.icmt) Templates are useful starting points for stand-alone documents, because you can preset them with page size dimensions, text area dimensions, styles (paragraph and character), XML tags, swatches, pretagged sample content, and so on. Template files open as “Untitled” documents and display content and styles, but no page geometry (layout information from an InDesign document). This file type appears as InCopy Template in the Save As dialog box. InDesign files (.indd) When viewed in InCopy, these files provide full fidelity with the InDesign document, including content, styles, and layout of all page items. InCopy users can edit only those content items made available to them by InDesign users. Other items can be viewed but not edited. You can open several different types of text files, including Microsoft Word, RTF, and TXT files, directly in InCopy. When you do so, the import options for that file type appear. Export InCopy documents You can save all or part of an InCopy document in a different file format. In most cases, each component (for example, text frames and graphics) in an InCopy document is exported to a separate file. The exception is exporting an InCopy document to Adobe PDF, which copies all of the text and graphics in a document to a single PDF file. 1 Do one of the following: • To export text, click in the text with the Type tool . • To export a graphic, click the graphic with the Position tool . 2 Choose File > Export. 3 Specify a name and location for the exported content, and then select a format under Save As Type. The XML format appears in the list only if XML tags have been added to the document. If you are exporting text and don’t see a listing for your word-processing application, you might need to export the text in a format that the application can import, such as Rich Text Format. If your word-processing application doesn’t support any of the InCopy export formats, use the Text Only (ASCII) format. Note: Exporting in ASCII format removes all character attributes from the text.

For example, many newspapers measure horizontal layouts in picas and vertical text stories in inches. The system you select for the horizontal ruler governs tabs, margins, indents, and other measurements. Each spread has its own vertical ruler; however, all vertical rulers use the same settings you specify in the Units & Increments section of the Preferences dialog box. The default unit of measure for the rulers is picas (a pica equals 12 points). You can change the ruler units and control where the major tick marks appear on a ruler. For example, if you change the ruler unit for the vertical ruler to 12 points, a major ruler increment appears every 12 points (if such a display is possible in the current magnification). The tick mark labels include your customized major tick marks, so when the ruler reads 3 in the same example, it marks the third instance of the 12-point increment, or 36 points.

Adjust the zero point When you move the zero point, it moves to the same relative location in all spreads. For example, if you move the zero point to the top left corner of the second page of a page spread, it will appear in that position on the second page of all other spreads in the document. ❖ Do one of the following: • To move the zero point, drag from the intersection of the horizontal and vertical rulers to the position on the layout where you want to set the zero point. Establishing a new zero point • To reset the zero point, double-click the intersection of the horizontal and vertical rulers Last updated 5/15/2011 . 38 USING INCOPY Working with InCopy documents • To lock or unlock the zero point, right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Mac OS) the zero point of the rulers, and choose Lock Zero Point in the context menu. Change the default zero point Using the Origin setting in the Preferences dialog box, you can set the default zero point for rulers as well as the scope of the horizontal ruler. The scope determines whether the ruler measures across the page, across the entire spread, or, for multipage spreads, from the center of the spine. If you set the ruler origin at each spread’s binding spine, the origin becomes locked at the spine. You won’t be able to reposition the ruler origin by dragging it from the intersection of the rulers unless you choose another origin option. 1 Choose Edit > Preferences > Units & Increments (Windows) or InCopy > Preferences > Units & Increments (Mac OS). 2 In the Ruler Units section, in the Origin menu, do one of the following: • To set the ruler origin at the top-left corner of each spread, choose Spread. The horizontal ruler measures across the entire spread. • To set the ruler origin at the top-left corner of each page, choose Page. The horizontal ruler starts at zero for each page in a spread. • To set the ruler origin at the center of the spine, choose Spine. The horizontal ruler measures in negative numbers to the left of the spine and positive numbers to the right of the spine. You can also change horizontal ruler origin settings using the context menu that appears when you right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Mac OS) the horizontal ruler. Use grids In Layout view, you can view (or hide) a framework of grids and guides to show the position and alignment of objects. In most work systems, a designer working with InDesign sets up the grids and guides for the publication. InCopy users can see these layout aids after an InCopy story is linked to the InDesign document. You can create grids within InCopy. But, because InDesign grids override InCopy settings when files are linked, this feature is more useful for stand-alone documents that you publish directly from InCopy. These grids and guides are never visible on printed or exported output. One set of rulers and grids exists per page, but a guide can exist across all pages of a spread or within only a single page. Note: Grids, rulers, and guides are not available in Galley or Story view. Set up a baseline grid Use Grid Preferences to set up a baseline grid for the entire document. 1 Choose Edit > Preferences > Grids (Windows) or InCopy > Preferences > Grids (Mac OS). 2 Specify a baseline grid color by choosing a color in the Color menu. You can also choose Custom in the Color menu. 3 For Relative To, specify whether you want the grid to start at the top of the page or the top margin. 4 For Start, type a value to offset the grid from either the top of the page or the top margin of the page, depending on the option you choose from the Relative To menu. If you have trouble aligning the vertical ruler to this grid, try starting with a value of zero. 5 For Increment Every, type a value for the spacing between grid lines. In most cases, type a value that equals your body text leading, so that lines of text align perfectly to this grid.

View ruler guides Ruler guides are different from grids in that they can be positioned freely on a page or on a pasteboard. InDesign users can create two kinds of ruler guides: pageguides, which appear only on the page on which they create them, or spreadguides, which span all pages and the pasteboard of a multiple-page spread. You can view ruler guides if they exist in the InDesign document or assignment file, but you cannot create them in InCopy.

Display ruler guides behind objects By default, ruler guides appear in front of all other guides and objects. However, some ruler guides may block your view of objects, such as lines with narrow stroke widths. You can change the Guides In Back preference to display ruler guides in front of or behind all other objects. However, regardless of the Guides In Back setting, objects and ruler guides are always in front of margin and column guides. 1 Choose Edit > Preferences > Guides & Pasteboard (Windows) or InCopy > Preferences > Guides & Pasteboard (Mac OS). 2 Select Guides In Back, and click OK. Customize the pasteboard and guides 1 In the Edit menu (Windows) or InCopy menu (Mac OS), choose Preferences > Guides & Pasteboard. 2 To change the color of margin or column guides, choose a preset color from a menu, or choose Custom and specify a color using the color picker. 3 To make the pasteboard bigger or smaller, enter a value for Minimum Vertical Offset. 4 Click OK. Use layers Layers are like transparent sheets stacked on top of each other. If a layer doesn’t have objects on it, you can see through it to any objects on layers behind it. Only InDesign users can create layers. InCopy users can show or hide layers, show or hide objects on layers, and change layers settings. If the InDesign user created multiple layers in the document, you can hide layers in InCopy, letting you edit specific areas or kinds of content in the document without affecting other areas or kinds of content. For example, if your document prints slowly because it contains many large graphics, you can hide all non-text layers and quickly print the text layer for proofreading. Additional layer notes: • Objects on masters appear at the bottom of each layer. Master objects can appear in front of document page objects if the master page objects are on a higher layer. • Layers involve all pages of a document, including masters. For example, if you hide Layer 1 while editing page 1 of your document, the layer is hidden on all pages until you decide to show it again. Last updated 5/15/2011 41 USING INCOPY Working with InCopy documents The Layers panel lists layers, with the frontmost layer appearing at the top of the panel. Show and hide layers 1 Choose Window > Layers. 2 In the Layers panel, do any of the following: • To hide a specific layer, click the eye icon to the left of the layer name. • To show a specific layer, click the space to the left of the layer name. • Click a triangle next to a layer name to display the layer objects. Click the eye icon to show or hide individual objects. • To show or hide all layers at once, choose Show/Hide All Layers from the panel menu. Note: Only visible layers and objects print. Importing graphics Import graphics InCopy allows you to import graphics into existing frames. This is especially useful where content is created before the layout, because you can choose the graphics for your articles as you write. You can import graphics into existing frames only. Only InDesign users can create graphics frames. In standalone InCopy documents, you can insert a graphic into the default text frame, making it an inline graphic. InCopy supports the same wide range of graphics file formats as InDesign, including graphics created using Adobe® Illustrator® 8.0 and later, bitmap formats such as PDF, PSD, TIFF, GIF, JPEG, and BMP, and vector formats such as EPS. You can even import InDesign (INDD) pages as images. Other supported formats include DCS, PICT, WMF, EMF, PCX, PNG, and Scitex CT (.SCT). Notes on placing graphics in InCopy When you import graphics into InCopy, keep the following in mind: • For managed content, you must check out a frame before you can import a graphic into it. Last updated 5/15/2011 42 USING INCOPY Working with InCopy documents • Once you import a graphic, you can transform (move, scale, rotate, shear) it inside the frame, fit the graphic to the frame, and control the graphic’s appearance. You can also tag a selected frame for future XML use by selecting commands from the context menu. • When InDesign users create a new frame, they specify whether it is a text, graphics, or unassigned frame. InCopy users cannot change this frame type within InCopy. Therefore, if you try to import a graphic into a text frame, for example, it may appear as a large inline graphic. • You can select and modify the graphics but not the frames in InCopy, unless they are nested or inline frames. Only InDesign users can modify graphics frames. • You can place, paste, or drag graphics into an anchored, floating, or inline graphics frame. You can import a graphic into a text frame only if that frame has an active insertion point or is an inline graphics frame. • If you import a graphic into a nested frame, the graphic is imported into the deepest-level frame under the pointer. Nested frames that contain graphics, unlike top-level frames, can be selected with the Position tool. (See “Position tool overview” on page 54.) • If an effect, such as transparency, drop shadow, or feathering, is applied to a frame in InDesign, it will be visible in an assignment file or InDesign (.indd) file open in InCopy. It will not be visible in a linked (.icml) file open in InCopy. Place a graphic in an InCopy document 1 Do one of the following: • To place a graphic in a standalone InCopy document, place the insertion point in the text frame. • To place a graphic in a linked document, make sure the graphics frame is checked out to you. The Editing icon appears in the upper left corner of the frame. 2 Choose File > Place and select a graphics file. 3 To set format-specific import options, select Show Import Options to see format-specific settings, and then click Open. Note: When you place a graphic created in lllustrator 9.0 or later by using the Show Import Options dialog box, the options are identical to those for PDF files. When you place an Illustrator 8.x graphic, the options are identical to those for EPS files. 4 If another dialog box appears, select your import options, and click OK. 5 To import into a frame, click the loaded graphics icon in the frame. To place a specified page of a multipage PDF document, click the loaded graphics icon in a frame. If you accidently replace an existing graphic with an image you’re placing, press Ctrl+Z (Windows) or Command+Z (Mac OS) to return the original image to the frame and display the loaded graphics icon. Drag a graphic into a frame ❖ Do one of the following: • To place a graphic in an existing graphics frame, make sure the frame is checked out to you, and then drag the graphic file’s icon from the file system to the frame. • To place a graphic at an active text insertion point, drag the graphic file’s icon to any place in the text frame. This method is available only in Layout view. Paste a graphic into a frame 1 Make sure the graphics frame is checked out to you. The Editing icon frame.

The Editing icon appears in the upper left corner of the frame. 2 Do one of the following: • To place a graphic in an existing inline graphics frame, use the Place or Cut command to select a graphic. Click the loaded graphics icon in the frame. • To place a graphic at an active text insertion point, drag the graphic file’s icon to any place in the text frame, or use the Place command to import the graphic. Import options for graphics The options for importing graphics vary depending on the type of image being imported. To display import options, make sure that Show Import Options is selected in the Place dialog box. Encapsulated PostScript (.eps) import options When you place an EPS graphic (or a file saved with Illustrator 8.0 or earlier) and select Show Import Options in the Place dialog box, you’ll see a dialog box containing these options: Read Embedded OPI Image Links This option tells InCopy to read links from OPI comments for images included (or nested) in the graphic. Deselect this option if you’re using a proxy-based workflow and plan to have your service providers perform the image replacement using their OPI software. When this option is deselected, InDesign preserves the OPI links but does not read them. When you print or export, the proxy and the links are passed on to the output file. Select this option if you’re using a proxy-based workflow and you want InDesign, instead of your service provider, to perform image replacement when you output the final file. When you select this option, the OPI links appear in the Links panel. Also select this option when you import EPS files containing OPI comments that are not part of a proxy-based workflow. For example, if you import an EPS file containing OPI comments for an omitted TIFF or bitmap image, you’ll want to select this option so that InDesign can access the TIFF information when you output the file. Apply Photoshop Clipping Path Regardless of whether this option is selected, a placed EPS file includes a clipping path in InDesign. However, deselecting this option may result in a different bounding box size. Proxy Generation This creates a low-resolution bitmap representation of an image when drawing the file to the screen. The following settings control how the proxy will be generated: • Use TIFF Or PICT Preview Some EPS images contain an embedded preview. Select this option to generate the proxy image of the existing preview. If a preview does not exist, the proxy will be generated by rasterizing the EPS to an offscreen bitmap. • Rasterize The PostScript Select this option to ignore the embedded preview. This option is typically slower but provides the highest-quality results. Note: When you import more than one single file into the same document, all instances share the proxy setting of the first instance of the imported file. Last updated 5/15/2011 44 USING INCOPY Working with InCopy documents Bitmap import options You can apply color-management options to individual imported graphics when using color-management tools with a document. You can also import a clipping path or an alpha channel saved with an image created in Photoshop. Doing so lets you directly select an image and modify its path without changing the graphics frame. Note: Although Adobe InCopy does not include color-management options, these import options are relevant when the images you place in InCopy are transferred to InDesign. When you place a PSD, TIFF, GIF, JPEG, or BMP file and select Show Import Options in the Place dialog box, you’ll see a dialog box containing these options: Apply Photoshop Clipping Path If this option isn’t available, the image wasn’t saved with a clipping path, or the file format doesn’t support clipping paths. If the bitmap image doesn’t have a clipping path, you can create one in InDesign. Alpha channel Select an alpha channel to import the area of the image saved as an alpha channel in Photoshop. InCopy uses the alpha channel to create a transparent mask on the image. This option is available only for images that contain at least one alpha channel. Image imported without clipping path (left) and with clipping path (right) Click the Color tab to view the following options: Profile If Use Document Default is selected, leave this option unchanged. Otherwise, choose a color source profile that matches the gamut of the device or software used to create the graphic. This profile enables InDesign to properly translate its color to the gamut of the output device. Rendering Intent Choose a method for scaling the color range of the graphic to the color range of the output device. Typically, you’ll choose Perceptual (Images) because it accurately represents colors in photographs. The Saturation (Graphics), Relative Colorimetric, and Absolute Colorimetric options are better for areas of solid color; they don’t reproduce photographs well. Rendering Intent options aren’t available for bitmap, grayscale, and index-color mode images. Portable Network Graphics (.png) import options When you place a PNG image and select Show Import Options in the Place dialog box, you’ll see a dialog box with three sections of import settings. Two sections contain the same options available for other bitmap image formats. The other section, PNG Settings, contains the following settings: Use Transparency Information This option is enabled by default when a PNG graphic includes transparency. If an imported PNG file contains transparency, the graphic interacts only where the background is transparent. White Background If a PNG graphic does not contain a file-defined background color, this option will be selected by default. However, it is only enabled if Use Transparency Information is activated. If this option is selected, white is used as the background color when applying transparency information. File Defined Background Color If a PNG graphic was saved with a non-white background color, and Use Transparency Information is selected, this option is selected by default. If you don’t want to use the default background color, click White Background to import the graphic with a white background, or deselect Use Transparency Last updated 5/15/2011 45 USING INCOPY Working with InCopy documents Information to import the graphic without any transparency (displaying areas of the graphic that are currently transparent). Some image-editing programs can’t specify a non-white background color for PNG graphics. Apply Gamma Correction Select this option to adjust the gamma (midtone) values of a PNG graphic as you place it. This option lets you match image gamma to the gamma of the device you will use to print or display the graphic (such as a low-resolution or non-PostScript printer or computer monitor). Deselect this option to place the image without applying any gamma correction. By default, this option is selected if the PNG graphic was saved with a gamma value. Gamma Value This option, available only if Apply Gamma Correction is selected, displays the gamma value that was saved with the graphic. To change the value, type a positive number from 0.01 to 3.0. When PNG files are imported, the settings in the Image Import Options dialog box are always based on the selected file, not on the default or last-used settings. Acrobat (.pdf) and Illustrator (.ai) import options The layout, graphics, and typography in a placed PDF are preserved. As with other placed graphics, you cannot edit a placed PDF page within InCopy . You can control the visibility of layers in a layered PDF. You can also place more than one page of a multipage PDF. When you place a PDF that was saved with passwords, you’ll be prompted to enter the required passwords. If the PDF file was saved with usage restrictions (for example, no editing or printing), but no passwords, you can place the file. When you place a PDF (or a file saved with Illustrator 9.0 or later) and select Show Import Options in the Place dialog box, you’ll see a dialog box containing the following options: Show Preview Preview a page in the PDF before you place it. If you’re placing a page from a PDF that contains multiple pages, click the arrows, or type a page number under the preview image to preview a specific page. Pages Specify the pages you want to place: the page displayed in the preview, all pages, or a range of pages. For Illustrator files, you can specify which artboard to place. If you specify multiple pages, hold down Alt (Windows) or Option (Mac OS) while placing the file to place them all at the same time, overlapping each other. Crop To Specify how much of the PDF page to place: • Bounding Box Places the PDF page’s bounding box, or the minimum area that encloses the objects on the page, including page marks. The Bounding Box (Visible Layers Only) option uses the bounding box only of the visible layers of the PDF file. The Bounding Box (All Layers) option places the bounding box of the entire layer area of the PDF file, even if layers are hidden. • Art Places the PDF only in the area defined by a rectangle that the author created as a placeable artwork (for example, clip art). • Crop Places the PDF only in the area that is displayed or printed by Adobe Acrobat. • Trim Identifies the place where the final produced page will be physically cut in the production process, if trim marks are present. • Bleed Places only the area that represents where all page content should be clipped, if a bleed area is present. This information is useful if the page is being output in a production environment. Note that the printed page may include page marks that fall outside the bleed area. • Media Places the area that represents the physical paper size of the original PDF document (for example, the dimensions of an A4 sheet of paper), including page marks.

Fit a graphic to its frame When you place or paste a graphic into a frame, it appears at the upper left corner of the frame by default. If the frame and its content are different sizes, you can use the Fitting commands to achieve a perfect fit. 1 Select the graphic with the Position tool . 2 Choose Object > Fitting and one of the following options: Fit Content To Frame Resizes content to fit a frame and allows the content proportions to be changed. The frame will not change, but the content may appear to be stretched if the content and the frame have different proportions. Center Content Centers content within a frame. The proportions of the frame and its content are preserved. Fit Content Proportionally Resizes content to fit a frame while preserving the content proportions. The frame’s dimensions are not changed. If the content and the frame have different proportions, some empty space will result. Fill Frame Proportionally Resizes content to fit a frame completely while preserving the content proportions. The frame’s dimensions are not changed. Note: The Fitting commands fit the content outer edges to the center of the frame’s stroke. If the frame has a thick stroke weight, outer edges of the content will be obscured. You can adjust the frame’s stroke alignment to the center, inside, or outside of a frame edge.

Copy links to a different folder Use the Copy Link(s) To command to copy graphics files to a different folder and redirect the links to the copied files. This command is especially useful for moving files to a different drive, such as moving files from a DVD to a hard drive. 1 Select the links to the files you want to copy, and choose Utilities > Copy Link(s) To from the Links panel menu. 2 Specify the folder where the linked files will be copied and choose Select (Windows) or Choose (Mac OS). Relink to a different folder When you use the Relink To Folder command, you can point to a folder that contains files with the same names as your out-of-date links. For example, if your current links point to low-resolution images, you can specify a different folder that contains high-resolution images. You can specify a different extension for the files, allowing you to change links from .jpg to .tiff, for example. The Relink To Folder command is dimmed in a managed InCopy story unless the story is checked out. 1 Select one or more links in the Links panel. 2 Choose Relink To Folder from the Links panel menu. 3 Specify the location of the new folder. 4 To use a different extension, select Match Same Filename But This Extension, and specify the new extension (such as AI, TIFF, or PSD). 5 Click Select (Windows) or Choose (Mac OS). Relink files with different file extensions The Relink File Extension command lets you replace images based on file extensions. For example, if you have several JPEG images in your document, you can replace them with PSD files. The files with different extensions must be in the same folder as the linked files being replaced. 1 Make sure the files with different file extensions appear in the same folder as the original files. 2 Select one or more links in the Links panel. 3 Choose Relink File Extensions from the Links panel menu. 4 Specify the file extension to replace the selected files, and click Relink.

Use Display Performance preferences to set the default option used to open all documents, and customize the settings that define those options. Each display option has separate settings for displaying raster images, vector graphics, and transparencies. Fast Draws a raster image or vector graphic as a gray box (default). Use this option when you want to quickly page through spreads that have lots of images or transparency effects. Typical Draws a low-resolution proxy image (default) appropriate for identifying and positioning an image or vector graphic. Typical is the default option, and is the fastest way to display an identifiable image. High Quality Draws a raster image or vector graphic at High Resolution (default). This option provides the highest quality but the slowest performance. Use this option when you want to fine-tune an image. Note: Image display options don’t affect output resolution when exporting or printing images within a document.

Last updated 5/15/2011 59 USING INCOPY Working with InCopy documents Including metadata in a story Work with metadata Metadata is a set of standardized information about a file, such as author name, resolution, color space, copyright, and keywords applied to it. You can use metadata to streamline your workflow and organize your files. About the XMP standard Metadata information is stored using the Extensible Metadata Platform (XMP) standard, on which Adobe Bridge , Adobe Illustrator, Adobe InDesign, and Adobe Photoshop are built. XMP is built on XML, and in most cases the metadata is stored in the file. If it isn’t possible to store the information in the file, metadata is stored in a separate file called a sidecar file. XMP facilitates the exchange of metadata between Adobe applications and across publishing workflows. For example, you can save metadata from one file as a template, and then import the metadata into other files. Metadata that is stored in other formats, such as Exif, IPTC (IIM), GPS, and TIFF, is synchronized and described with XMP so that it can be more easily viewed and managed. Other applications and features also use XMP to communicate and store information such as version comments, which you can search using Adobe Bridge. In most cases the metadata remains with the file even when the file format changes, for example, from PSD to JPG. Metadata is also retained when files are placed in an Adobe document or project. You can use the XMP Software Development Kit to customize the creation, processing, and interchange of metadata. For example, you can use the XMP SDK to add fields to the File Info dialog box. For more information on XMP and the XMP SDK, visit the Adobe website. Working with metadata in Adobe Bridge and Adobe Creative Suite components Many of the powerful Adobe Bridge features that allow you to organize, search, and keep track of your files and versions depend on XMP metadata in your files. Adobe Bridge provides two ways of working with metadata: through the Metadata panel and through the File Info dialog box (InDesign) or the Content File Info dialog box (InCopy). In some cases, multiple views exist for the same metadata property. For example, a property may be labeled Author in one view and Creator in another, but both refer to the same underlying property. Even if you customize these views for specific workflows, they remain standardized through XMP. Add metadata using the File Info dialog box The File Info dialog box displays camera data, file properties, an edit history, copyright, and author information of the current document. The File Info dialog box also displays custom metadata panels. You can add metadata directly in the File Information dialog box. Any information you enter in a field overrides existing metadata and applies the new value to all selected files. 1 Choose File > File Info (InDesign) or File > Content File Info (InCopy). 2 Select any of the following from the tabs at the top of the dialog box: Use the Right and Left arrows to scroll the tabs, or click the down-pointing arrow and choose a category from the list.

Last updated 5/15/2011 62 Chapter 4: Sharing content between InCopy and InDesign Understanding a basic managed-file workflow Sharing content The Adobe InCopy LiveEdit Workflow plug-ins let writers and editors develop copy in InCopy at the same time as designers prepare layouts in Adobe InDesign. This workflow includes container files, called assignments, for grouping related pieces of content, and file-locking and notification tools for sharing and updating files in InCopy or InDesign over a shared network or in compressed packages that can be distributed via e-mail. In the shared network workflow, InDesign users export text and graphics to a shared location on a file system, where the files become available to InCopy users who will write and edit the content. Selected text frames and graphics frames are either exported to the assignment or exported as separate InCopy files, where they become part of the managed process and are linked to the InDesign document. These shared files are referred to as managed files. When users work in the assignment file or in the InDesign file on a local server, changes to the associated layout or content are communicated to all users involved in the workflow for that document. Multiple InCopy or InDesign users can open the same content file simultaneously, and multiple InCopy users can open the same assignment file simultaneously. However, only one user at a time can check out the InCopy file for editing. Others can view the file on a read-only basis. The user who checks out a managed InCopy file can share his or her work with other users by saving the file to the shared server or by returning the file to the InDesign user; however, other users can’t make changes to the file until it’s checked back in. This system allows multiple users to access the same file but prevents users from overwriting each other’s work. For more information, see the InCopy LiveEdit Workflow guide (PDF) at www.adobe.com/go/learn_liveedit. More Help topics “Managed files” on page 65 Ways to work with content in InCopy Content is either a body of text that flows through one or more frames, or an imported graphic. There are five basic ways to work on content in InCopy: open an assignment file, open an assignment package, open a linked InCopy file, open an InDesign file that has linked InCopy files, or compose content entirely in InCopy. Open assignment files created in InDesign InDesign users can create an assignment file and designate content for sharing. This method lets the InDesign user associate related components (heading, body, graphics, captions, and so on), and then assign them to different InCopy users for writing and editing. InCopy users open the assignment file and work on only the components assigned to them. The live layout view shows how their edited copy relates to the InDesign layout, without opening the entire InDesign document. However, if the layout changes, the InDesign user must update assignments to notify InCopy users about the changes. You can share assignment files on a server or through assignment packages. Last updated 5/15/2011 63 USING INCOPY Sharing content between InCopy and InDesign InDesign document (.indd) with assignment file (.icml) composed of three linked content files (.incx). Assignment and its components are listed in Assignments panel and are opened in InCopy. Open assignment packages The assignment packages workflow is especially useful when designers and writers are working on the same project but don’t have access to a local server. In such cases, the InDesign user can create one or more packages and send the compressed files to the assigned InCopy users via e-mail. InCopy users can open the assignment packages, edit the contents, and return the packages to the InDesign user, who can then update the document. Open linked InCopy files exported from InDesign In certain workflows, InDesign users might export text and graphics as separate files, rather than wrapping them inside an assignment file. Exporting separate files is useful if you work on unrelated graphics or bodies of text. However, InCopy users aren’t able to see how the content fits within the InDesign layout. Last updated 5/15/2011 64 USING INCOPY Sharing content between InCopy and InDesign InDesign document (.indd) with three linked but unassigned content files (.icml) opened in InCopy Open InDesign documents that have linked InCopy files To see all page items in the context of an entire layout, InCopy users can open and edit an InDesign document in InCopy. This approach can be useful for editing and copyfitting if seeing the overall layout is important, or for editing most of the stories in a document rather than a few. After the InCopy user edits the stories, the InDesign user can then update the links to the modified files. If the InDesign user changes the layout, the InCopy user is notified when the InDesign document is saved. Compose content entirely in InCopy You can create content in InCopy that isn’t associated with an InDesign file. In these stand-alone documents, you can type text, assign fonts and styles, and import graphics from other applications (such as Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Photoshop) to enhance the text. You can also assign tags for future XML use. This approach is a good option in an editorial workflow where the content precedes the design. You can also set up and modify the text area, page size, and orientation for stand-alone InCopy documents. But if the story is later linked to an InDesign document, the InDesign settings override the settings used in InCopy.

Managed files communicate both content status and ownership. With managed files, you can: • Lock and unlock stories to help preserve file integrity. • Notify InCopy users when the associated InDesign layout is outdated. • Identify the user working on a file. • Notify users when an InCopy content file is outdated, being used by someone, or available for editing. Notification methods include alert messages, frame icons, status icons in the Links panel, and status icons in the Assignments panel. Read-only files Once a content file becomes managed, it’s read-only to all users in the workflow at all times, except to the person who has checked it out. The software creates a lock file (*.idlk) when a user checks out a content file, giving that user exclusive editing control. Read-only files have the following characteristics: • An InCopy user cannot manually format the text in it. However, if text has been assigned character or paragraph styles, an InDesign user can change the definition of those styles, thereby changing the formatting of the text even when the file is checked out to someone else. These style definition changes are reflected in the text once the InDesign user updates the file. • In general, neither an InCopy nor InDesign user can change objects, such as text and applied styles, in locked InCopy content. Some objects, such as character and paragraph styles, are only used by the content. For example, you can’t change how a character style is applied to objects in locked content, but you can change the character style itself, thereby changing the appearance of the text. • An InDesign user can change the margins and columns of the text content as well as the shape, location, and number of text frames the story occupies. • An InDesign user can change the geometry and formatting of a graphics frame without checking out the graphic. An InCopy user cannot change a graphics frame or any formatting on the frame. However, both InDesign and InCopy users have to check out the graphics frame in order to modify the graphic itself (for example, to rotate or scale it). Best practices for working with managed files Use the following practices to make sure that you work with the most up-to-date content and don’t overwrite someone else’s work: • Store assignment files on a server where all team members have access. If team members don’t have access to a server, you can create and distribute assignment packages. • When you create an assignment, a special folder is created to hold the assignment file and the content. Use these assignment folders to maintain assignment and content files. They simplify managing the shared files across a workgroup and help ensure that users open the correct files. • In InCopy, open the assignment file instead of an individual InCopy story. That way, you can see the copyfit and layout information in Galley and Layout views. If you export content without using assignment files, you can see copyfit and layout information only by opening the InDesign file. Last updated 5/15/2011 66 USING INCOPY Sharing content between InCopy and InDesign • As soon as you open an assignment file, open an InDesign document, or check out content in either InDesign or InCopy; make sure that frame edges are showing (View > Extras > Show Frame Edges) so that you can see the frame icons when they appear. • In InDesign, if you must remove files from the workflow (because of a production deadline, for example), you can unlink them or cancel an assignment package. More Help topics “Unlink content files (InDesign)” on page 84 Managed-file workflow examples When you establish workflow management between InCopy and InDesign, writers and editors can compose, rewrite, expand, and edit documents at the same time that designers prepare the layout. Common workflows include managing files on a local server, sharing files via e-mail packages, or using some combination of the two methods. These workflows assume that you have a basic InDesign template with layout geometries, styles, and placeholder text. Layout geometries include page dimensions as well as text and graphics frames. InCopy uses these items to show proper copyfit information. Local server workflow 1. In InDesign, create assignments and add content to them. This step incorporates exported text and graphics frames into the managed process, where they become available to InCopy users for writing and editing. 2. Make the assignment files available to InCopy users. Save the files to a server that all workflow users have access to. 3. In InCopy, open the assignment file, and check out and edit a story or graphic. In InCopy, the files containing content assigned to you appear in the Assignments panel. Whenever you save the file on a local server, the changes are saved on the file system and anyone working on that document (the InDesign layout or another managed content file in the document) receives notification of the changes. Those users can update the content to view the latest changes. The content remains checked out to you until you check it in. 4. In InDesign, work on the layout. Regardless of whether the content files are being edited in InCopy, InDesign users can work on the document layout; they don’t have to check out the document. Whenever the InCopy user saves the checked-out content, the InDesign user can update that content within the layout to see the latest revisions. 5. In InCopy, continue working. When finished with your edits, check in the content. Other users are then able to check out the content and work on it. If a user is modifying the layout in InDesign simultaneously, you can update and view the layout geometry as you work. 6. In InDesign, make sure that all the content is checked in. The managed workflow makes it possible to know who has checked out files. After content files are checked in, InDesign users can check out the files to finalize the layout as necessary. Last updated 5/15/2011 67 USING INCOPY Sharing content between InCopy and InDesign E-mail package workflow 1. In InDesign, create and send assignment packages. Create assignment packages and assign contents to the appropriate InCopy users, and then send the packages to the InCopy users. The packaged files are automatically checked out to help avoid editing conflicts. 2. In InCopy, open the assignment package, and check out and edit a story or graphic. If you receive an assignment package in e-mail, double-click the package to open it in InCopy. Changes you make to the file are saved only locally. Other users are not notified when you make changes. 3. In InDesign, work on the layout. Regardless of whether the content files are packaged, InDesign users can work on the document layout; they don’t have to check out the document. If you need to update the layout or assignments, you can send an updated package to the InCopy users. 4. In InCopy, return the edited package. When finished with your edits, check in the content and return the modified package. Other users are then able to check out the content, view the latest revisions, and work on the file. 5. In InDesign, make sure that all the content is checked in. The managed workflow makes it possible to know who has checked out files. After assignment packages are returned, stories in assignment packages are checked in. InDesign users can check out the files to finalize the layout as necessary. Enter user identification All users in the workflow must have a user name. This identification reveals who has checked out a particular file and makes this information available to other users. It’s also required in order to check out a file for editing. If you’ve already specified a user name and want to change it, you must check in any content you have checked out. Otherwise, changing user identification during an editing session would forfeit your ability to edit content that you have checked out—it would be checked out to you under a different name. User identification is application-specific; no single user can have multiple user identifications per application. Note: The InCopy Notes and Track Changes features also use the specified name to identify the author of a note or a tracked change. 1 Do either of the following: • Choose File > User. • Choose User from the Assignments panel menu. 2 Type a unique name and click OK. If you forget to specify a user name using this method, you’re prompted to enter one when you attempt your first workflow action. Note: The Color pop-up menu in this dialog box is for identifying editorial notes and tracked changes. You can choose the color now if you want, but it doesn’t affect anything you do in a managed workflow.

Last updated 5/15/2011 69 USING INCOPY Sharing content between InCopy and InDesign Sharing content Exporting content from InDesign Exporting content from InDesign to InCopy establishes a link between the two applications. You export InDesign text frames, graphics frames, and their contents to InCopy using either of two methods: • Create a container file (*.icma)—called an assignment—and add related groupings of document items (such as the text and graphics of a story) to the assignment so they can be worked on together. Content within assignments is exported as *.icml files. • Export text and graphics frames separately (including placeholder frames) using the Edit > InCopy > Export menu commands. Exported content is saved as *.icml files. After content is exported, small icons appear at the top left of exported frames in InDesign and InCopy, and in the Assignments panel. A link to the exported file appears in the Links panel. These icons indicate the status of managed frames and they differentiate managed frames from those that aren’t part of the workflow. All exported content appears in the Assignments panel. Content exported using the Export menu commands appears in the Unassigned InCopy Content section of the Assignments panel list. While both methods establish a controlled connection between InCopy content and an InDesign document, the primary method is to use assignment files. Exporting content makes the content available for users to check out while maintaining a link to the original InDesign document. (This link is made from within InDesign; you cannot create the link from InCopy.) Once the content is exported, InCopy users can see (but not change) the page layouts, styles, and so forth as they appear in the InDesign document. Note: You can also create text or anchored graphics using InCopy and then place them in InDesign. More Help topics “Assignment files” on page 70 “Assignments panel overview” on page 69 “Workflow icons” on page 68 “Placing InCopy files in InDesign documents” on page 84 Assignments panel overview The primary tool for working with assignments is the Assignments panel (Window > Assignments in InCopy, Window > Editorial > Assignments in InDesign).

You can double-click text and graphics frames in the Assignments panel to select them in the document window. Note: All content exported to InCopy or added to an assignment is also listed in the Links panel. Although you can do some workflow management tasks, such as checking out and checking in content, the recommended panel for these tasks is the Assignments panel.

For example, you might want to select all the items in a story (headline, byline, copy, graphics, and captions), and then assign them to one InCopy user. Adding those items to an assignment provides a convenient way for InCopy users to access only the content for which they are responsible. Assignment files (*.icma) appear in the file system, in the InCopy story bar, and in status messages. Only InDesign users can create assignment files; only InCopy users can open them. When you create an assignment, a folder is created in the same location as the InDesign document by default. This assignment folder includes the *.icma assignment files and a content subfolder that contains any exported InCopy story files (in .icml format) that are part of images or other resources. Once the assignment is created, store the project folder in a location where all users have access to it, or create and distribute an assignment package. If content is exported before it’s added to an assignment, the files on disk are not moved to the content folder of the assignment file. Last updated 5/15/2011 71 USING INCOPY Sharing content between InCopy and InDesign Assignment files include the following: • Links or pointers to the associated page items, including placeholder frames. These elements let the InCopy user open a single file in InCopy and have editorial access to multiple page items. • Any transformations on the graphics included in the assignment, such as moving, scaling, rotating, or shearing. • Page geometry, so InCopy users can see the layout of the frame and its content that they’re editing without opening the entire InDesign file. • Color-coding of assigned frames in the document. Illustration of page in InCopy showing page geometry and color coding Create assignments and add content (InDesign) Only InDesign users can create assignments and add content to them. There are several ways to create assignments. The method you choose usually depends on whether you have content to add at the time you create the assignment. • Create empty assignment files. From your InDesign document, you can create a series of empty assignments to act as templates for content to come later. • Create assignments and add content at the same time. • Add content to an existing assignment file. You can add linked content—text and graphics that have already been exported as InCopy content—or you can add selected page items to become linked InCopy content. If one or more of the selected frames already contain InCopy content files, and none is part of an assignment, you can add them to a new or existing assignment file. By default, the assignment folder you create is saved in the same folder as the InDesign document. You can then place this folder on a server or create and send a package. Note: If you don’t want InCopy users to place and fit graphics, don’t add graphics frames to an assignment.

Note: You can add content only to assignments in the same document. However, you can import the same content into multiple documents and add it to an assignment in each of those documents. Assignment file options (InDesign) When you create or modify an assignment file, you can set the following options: Assignment Name The unique identification of the assignment in the Assignments panel, for example “Ocean article.” This name must conform to the file naming conventions of the operating system. Assigned To The unique identification of the user assigned to the files. The user’s name appears in parentheses following the assignment name in the Assignments panel. Entering a name here is for informational purposes only; it doesn’t grant special rights or permissions to the user. Color Displays a list of colors for adding a distinctive highlight to the frames of the current assignment in the document window, and to the assignment names in the Assignments panel. This color coding differentiates frames that belong to one assignment from frames that belong to another, and it differentiates from unassigned frames. To toggle the display of this color coding, choose View > Extras > Show/Hide Assigned Frames. In InCopy, the color coding is visible only in Layout view. Note: If toggling the display of assigned frames produces unexpected results, those frames might be tagged for XML and View > Structure > Show Tagged Frames might be enabled. You cannot show assigned frames and tagged frames at the same time. Change Click the Change button to specify the location of the assignments folder. By default, the assignments folder is created in the same location as the InDesign file. Last updated 5/15/2011 73 USING INCOPY Sharing content between InCopy and InDesign Placeholder Frames Lets InCopy users see the text and graphics frames in the assignment as well as boxes (or other shapes) representing all other frames on those InDesign pages. All frames and placeholders accurately reflect the size, shape, and location of the InDesign originals. Placeholder frames are empty shapes that don’t show any of the content in the InDesign document. The Placeholder Frames option provides the least amount of fidelity, and therefore provides the fastest performance. In InCopy, the placeholder frames are visible only in Layout view. InCopy users cannot check out and edit placeholder frames. Assigned Spreads Lets InCopy users see all assigned frames, as well as the entire contents of other frames that aren’t part of the assignment, on the same spread. In InCopy, content in frames outside an assignment isn’t editable and is visible only in Layout view. All Spreads Exports all content in the InDesign document to the assignment file. This option provides the maximum amount of fidelity; it also provides the slowest performance because the assignment file displays the design and layout of every page, including pages not relevant to the section a user is editing. Linked Image Files When Packaging Includes a copy of linked images in the assignment package. Selecting this option gives InCopy users access to images but increases the package’s file size. InCopy users can include images while returning a package. Export content as separate InCopy files (InDesign) If your workgroup prefers working with separate files rather than using assignments, you can export InCopy content without using an assignments file. Compared with creating a single assignment file with references to multiple content files and layout information, this method creates a separate file (.icml) for each text or graphics frame you specify in the document. To see the context of the content you are editing, you must also open the associated InDesign document (.indd). Cater the InDesign document to suit your workflow needs. For example, if you want all of the editor’s comments to be exported in a single file, create a layer for the editor to make comments. You can then export all the content on the selected layer. Note: A quick way to export content as separate InCopy files is to use the Selection tool to drag selected frames into the Unassigned InCopy Content in the Assignments panel. 1 In InDesign, create a document with one or more text frames, graphics frames, or placeholder items. 2 Do either of the following: • Select the text or graphics frame of a single story, or Shift-click to select multiple frames. • Click an insertion point in a story, or select some text in a text frame. 3 Choose Edit > InCopy > Export, and then choose one of the following options: Selection Exports all selected text and graphics frames. Layer Exports all content on the selected layer. All Stories Exports every story that has not been exported already. All Graphics Exports every graphic that has not been exported already. All Graphics And Stories Exports every story and graphic that has not been exported already. If you export all content in the document, and then add more text or graphics frames to the same document, you can save time exporting the new ones by using the Export > All Stories (or All Graphics or All Graphics And Stories) command again. InDesign exports only the new content. 4 Enter a name and location for the files, and then click Save. Last updated 5/15/2011 74 USING INCOPY Sharing content between InCopy and InDesign The file name you specify is used as a prefix for identifying each exported content file in the file system. If you export multiple text frames, the first several characters of the text are automatically appended to the file name; for example, “mystory-Upcoming cycling events.icml.” For multiple graphics frames, the file names are formed as “mystorygraphic,” “mystory-graphic-1,” and so on. The file name appears in the file system, in the InCopy story bar, and in status messages. 5 When prompted, save your InDesign file. The InCopy content is now managed, and is available to be checked out and edited by other users in the workflow. Shared content appears in the Links panel just like imported graphics. If you move a shared file manually, you can use the Links panel to update its link. When you export content, you see the Available icon on the text frame (InDesign and InCopy), and in the Assignments panel (InCopy). The word [Editing] appears in the story bar (InCopy). Assignment packages Create and send packages (InDesign) Under ideal circumstances, all InDesign and InCopy users on the team have access to a server where assignment files are stored. However, if one or more users don’t have access to a common server, you can create and distribute compressed assignment packages. After working on the assignment, the InCopy user repackages the assignment and returns it to be integrated into the InDesign document. Package files created in InDesign include the .icap extension. The return package files created in InCopy include the .idap extension. There are two commands for packaging files: Package For InCopy and Package And Email. Use Package For InCopy to create a compressed package that you can distribute manually; use Package And Email to create a compressed package that is attached automatically to an e-mail message. Note: Do not confuse an assignment package with the File > Package command in InDesign that lets you bundle and send a document and its assets to a printer.

See your system documentation for details. 3 Edit the e-mail message by adding a recipient and providing any instructions. Send the message. All items in the assignment are checked out to the assigned user. However, the contents of the package itself aren’t locked, so anyone can open the package and edit them. Cancel a package In some cases, the package you send isn’t returned. For example, the message may have gotten lost, or the recipient may no longer work on the project. In such a situation, you can cancel a package. 1 In the Assignments panel, select the packaged assignment, and choose Cancel Package from the panel menu. 2 Click OK to cancel the package. Canceling a package doesn’t remove the package file from your computer. When a package is cancelled, the package’s contents are available for editing. Be aware that if someone returns a package that has been cancelled, conflicts may occur. Update a package After you create a package, you may want to add, remove, or resize items. 1 Add, remove, or resize one or more stories to the packaged assignment. 2 Select the assignment in the Assignments panel, and do one of the following: • Choose Update Package from the Assignments panel menu. Specify the name and location of the file. Make the updated package available to users by placing it on a shared server or by e-mail. Remember to notify InCopy users that the package has been updated. • Choose Update Package And Email from the Assignments panel menu, and then send the message. When InCopy users open the updated package, only new content is added automatically to the assignment; InCopy users can decide whether to overwrite existing content, allowing them to preserve previous edits. Receive packages (InCopy) You may receive a package from an InDesign user who created the package or from an InCopy user who forwarded the package to you.

Updating an InCopy assignment file and its contents or updating individual content files copies data from the latest file system copy so that the version displayed on your computer matches the one on the file system. Updating does not require checking in or out and does not give you editing rights. However, updating can cause problems if another user has deleted your lock. Note: Updating content does not update content in assignment packages that have not been returned. A typical updating workflow is as follows: 1 The InCopy user opens an assignment file or checks out an individual content file and edits the content. 2 The InCopy user saves the content file, which updates the copy on the file system, and continues working. 3 The InDesign user sees the Out Of Date icon selection, and the In Use on the associated frame. in both the Assignments panel and the Links panel next to the and Text Content Out Of Date icon or Graphics Content Out Of Date icon Assignments panel with In Use and Out Of Date icons (left) and Layout with out-of-date content (right) 4 The InDesign user updates the content.

You can also update content using the Links panel. Accidentally updating your work In most cases, the update commands are disabled for content you have checked out, because that content would always be up to date. However, an undesirable situation can occur if a different user deletes the lock on checked-out content (by dragging the lock file [.idlk] to the Recycle Bin [Windows] or Trash [Mac OS]), and modifies the content. In this case, the update commands can become enabled even while the content is checked out to you, essentially allowing two people to edit the content at the same time. Updating the content results in lost work. For best results, do not delete the lock files. Update the InDesign layout InDesign users can modify the layout (for example, change the size or location of the text frames of a story) and save the changes while InCopy users are modifying the text of these text frames. In a shared server workflow, the way InCopy users are notified about layout changes depends on whether they have opened an assignment file or have checked out individual content files and also opened the linked InDesign file. Consider the following: • If an InDesign user changes the layout of frames in an assignment, the user must update the assignment to make the design changes available to InCopy users. InDesign does not automatically update assignment files when the document is saved. • Once the InDesign user updates the assignment stored on a shared server, the Out Of Date icon appears next to the assignment in the InCopy Assignments panel. The InCopy user must update the design to see the current layout. • If an InDesign user changes the layout of exported content that is not part of an assignment, the Out Of Date icon appears next to the InDesign document name in the Assignments panel, and the document title bar indicates the layout is out-of-date. InCopy users can update the currently active InDesign document with the latest layout and style changes. Updating the layout in InCopy is useful for copyfitting tasks, because the latest appearance and line breaks are visible in Layout and Galley views. ❖ Do one of the following: • If you have an assignment file open and the Assignments panel shows the Out Of Date icon assignment name, click the Update Design button command. next to the , or choose File > Update Design.

Exporting a text or graphics frame from InDesign also checks it in automatically. Although a checked-in file is available for editing, it is not actually editable until it is checked out (unless you edit the content in stand-alone mode in InCopy). Checking in content relinquishes editing control, but does not close the file. The content remains open on your screen, but in a read-only state. The LiveEdit Workflow plug-ins do not create multiple file versions. Instead, files are overwritten when updated in either InCopy or InDesign. If you are working on an assignment package, return or forward the assignment package after checking it in.

This action makes the content read-only and available for others to check out. Overriding locked files (InDesign) Users might not immediately realize how their actions affect others in the workflow, and might accidentally create situations where conflicts exist between content status and ownership. If necessary, the InDesign user can resolve conflicts by unlinking a locked file checked out to a different user and taking control over the file. Unlinking a file stores the content in the InDesign document, but the content is no longer shared with InCopy. More Help topics “Unlink content files (InDesign)” on page 84 “Accidentally updating your work” on page 80 Unlink content files (InDesign) If necessary (because of a production deadline, for example), InDesign users can remove a content file from the managed workflow and from the Links panel by unlinking it. If you want to make the content available again for editing, you must reexport it as InCopy content using a different file name. This ensures that the old lock file won’t prevent users from editing the file. Note: Unlinking your own checked-out file removes it from the workflow and deletes the lock file from disk. You can reexport the content and overwrite the file name without conflict. ❖ To unlink an InCopy content file, select the file (.icml or .incx extension) in the Links panel and choose Unlink from the panel menu. Unlinking embeds the content into the document and removes the link to the InCopy file on disk. To relink the file, choose Edit > Undo Unlink. You can also unlink by deleting a frame, or using the InDesign Links panel to relink a content file to another file. You can also select the story in the Assignments panel and drag it to the Trash icon. Placing InCopy files in InDesign documents Although a typical workflow begins in InDesign, where the basic layout and text and graphics placeholders are defined and exported to InCopy, a different workflow can start with a stand-alone InCopy content file (.icml or .incx) that you place in InDesign using the File > Place command. Consider the following dependencies when you place InCopy content files in an InDesign document: Styles If the InCopy text file has styles applied, they are added to the InDesign list of styles for the document. In the event of a style-name conflict, InDesign overwrites the imported style with its existing style. Last updated 5/15/2011 85 USING INCOPY Sharing content between InCopy and InDesign Layout You can create the basic layout geometry for the content in InDesign, and then create or import the text and styles from a word-processing application. (Text files placed within InCopy are embedded in the InCopy document and are not linked to any external file.) Placing/Duplicating If you place an InCopy content file more than once, each instance of the content appears in the InDesign Links panel, but they are all managed as one content file. The same is true for any exact copies of a content file (by any means of duplication). Note: If you copy and paste some, but not all, of the text in a managed InCopy content file, the result is a new content file that is not connected to the original and has no link to any external file (InCopy or otherwise). The original and the pasted portions can be edited independently of each other. Updates/Management Once multiple instances of a managed content file are present in an InDesign document, they behave as if they were open in two applications. For example, checking out one instance of the content file locks all other instances so that you can edit only the checked-out instance. In this case, you would use the appropriate Update command to refresh the other (open) instances of the content. Last updated 5/15/2011 86 Chapter 5: Text Adding text Adding text You can add text by typing, pasting, or importing text from another file. In general, you use standard word-processing techniques to work with text in InCopy. Select the Type tool on the toolbox, and then use the techniques described below. These methods work the same way in Galley, Story, and Layout views, whether or not the content is linked to Adobe InDesign®. Typing Click the insertion point where you want to add text, and begin typing. Selecting Drag, double-click, or triple-click to select individual characters, words, lines, or paragraphs (depending on the Preferences settings). Or click anywhere in the content, and choose Edit > Select All. Pasting Copy or cut text, click at the location you want, and choose Edit > Paste. If you want to remove the formatting of the pasted text, choose Edit > Paste Without Formatting.

Deleting Select the text you want to delete, and choose Edit > Clear. You can also import text directly from another text document. More Help topics “Paste text” on page 91 Importing files You can import text from other InCopy stories, Microsoft® Word, Microsoft Excel, and any application that can export text in Rich Text Format (RTF) or text-only format. All importable file formats are listed in the InCopy Place dialog box (in the Files Of Type menu for Windows®, and in the right list pane for Mac OS). Document formatting and styles You can import files with or without formatting. If you import the files with formatting, InCopy imports most character and paragraph formatting attributes from text files, but ignores most page-layout information, such as page breaks, margins, and column settings (which you can set in InDesign). In general, InCopy imports all formatting information specified in the word-processing application, except for features not available in InCopy. If InCopy has an import filter for an application, you can determine which styles are imported, and which formatting to use if there is a name conflict. Note: InDesign controls the styles in linked InCopy stories. When you place an InCopy story in InDesign, any imported styles in the InCopy document are overridden in InDesign if there are conflicting style names. Saving files for import If your word-processing application can save files in more than one file format, try using the format capable of retaining the most formatting—either the application’s native file format or an interchange format such as Rich Text Format (RTF). Last updated 5/15/2011 87 USING INCOPY Text You can import files created in the recent versions of Microsoft Word. If you are placing a file from a different wordprocessing application or from Word 95 for Windows or earlier, such as Word 6, open the file in its original application and save it in a compatible Word format or in RTF, which preserves most formatting. More Help topics “Import graphics” on page 41 “Convert Word styles to InDesign styles” on page 167 Place (import) text For large amounts of text, the Place command is the most useful way to import content. InCopy supports a variety of word-processing, spreadsheet, and text file formats. The degree to which the original formatting is preserved depends on the import filter for the file type and the options you choose as you place the file. You can also open Word, text, and RTF files directly in InCopy. 1 Using the Type tool , click where you want the text to appear. 2 Choose File > Place. 3 In the Place dialog box, select Show Import Options if you want to display a dialog box containing import options for the type of file you’re placing. 4 Select the text file you want to place, and then click Open.

If you prefer to specify other substitution fonts, click Find Font and choose alternatives. If the text you import into your document includes pink, green, or another color of highlighting, you likely have one or more composition preference options turned on.

Dragging text from a locked or checked-in story copies the text rather than moves it. You can also copy text when dragging. Jeff Witchel provides a video tutorial about drag and drop at Using InDesign Drag and Drop Text. 1 To enable drag and drop, choose Edit > Preferences > Type (Windows) or InCopy > Preferences > Type (Mac OS), select Enable In Layout View, Enable In Story Editor (InDesign), or Enable In Galley/Story View (InCopy), and then click OK. 2 Select the text that you want to move or copy. 3 Hold the pointer over the selected text until the drag and drop icon appears, and then drag the text. As you drag, the selected text remains in place, but a vertical bar indicates where the text will appear when you release the mouse button. The vertical bar appears in any text frame that you drag the mouse over. 4 Do any of the following: • To drop the text in a new location, position the vertical bar where you would like the text to appear and release the mouse button. • To drop the text without formatting, hold down Shift after you start dragging, and then release the mouse button before releasing the key. • To copy the text, hold down Alt (Windows) or Option (Mac OS) after you start dragging, and then release the mouse button before releasing the key. You can also use a combination of these modifier keys. For example, to copy unformatted text to a new frame, hold down Alt+Shift+Ctrl (Windows) or Option+Shift+Command (Mac OS) after you start dragging.

Edit text on a master page In InDesign documents, a master page is a kind of template that applies to multiple pages. Master pages typically specify only common layout elements that appear on all pages of the document, such as the margins, page numbers, headers, and footers. You can use InCopy to edit the text on an InDesign master page if the text is a linked file. However, you cannot change any of the frame attributes controlled by the master, and you cannot edit master-page text from any other (regular) pages in the document.

The exact number of actions you can undo is limited by the amount of RAM available and the kinds of actions you have performed. The record of recent actions is erased when you save, close, quit, or exit, so they can no longer be undone. You can also cancel an operation before it completes, or revert to a previously saved version. ❖ Do one of the following: • To undo the most recent change, choose Edit > Undo [action]. (You cannot undo certain actions, such as scrolling.) • To redo an action you just undid, choose Edit > Redo [action]. • To undo all changes made since the last time you saved the project, choose File > Revert Content. • To stop a change that InCopy hasn’t finished processing (for example, if you see a progress bar), press the Escape key. • To close a dialog box without applying changes, click Cancel. Jump to a position marker A position marker is like a bookmark, and it is used to mark a location in a document. This is useful if you need to return to that location quickly or frequently.

Discretionary Line Break Related break options are available in the Keep Options dialog box and in the Paragraph Style Options dialog box. Use conditional text Conditional text is a way to create different versions of the same document. After you create conditions, you apply them to ranges of text. You can then create different versions of documents by showing and hiding conditions. For example, if you’re creating a computer manual, you can create separate conditions for Mac OS and Windows. Before you print the Mac OS version of the user guide, you can show all text to which the “Mac” condition is applied and hide all text to which the “Windows” condition is applied. You can then reverse the condition states for printing the user guide for Windows. Last updated 5/15/2011 96 USING INCOPY Text A B Conditional text shown A. All conditions shown B. Conditional indicators A B Conditional text hidden A. “Mac” condition hidden B. Hidden condition symbols Conditions can be applied only to text. You can make anchored objects conditional, but only by selecting the anchored object marker. You can apply conditions to text within table cells, but you cannot apply conditions to table cells, columns, or rows. You cannot apply conditions to text in locked InCopy stories. For a video tutorial on using conditional text, see www.adobe.com/go/lrvid4026_id. Planning conditional documents When planning a project with conditional text, examine the nature of the material and look at how several people can take turns working with it if the document is handed off. Plan to treat conditional text consistently to make the document easier to use and maintain. Use the following guidelines. Number of versions Define how many versions your finished project will contain. For example, if you’re creating a manual that describes a program that runs on both Windows and Mac OS platforms, you might want to produce at least two versions: a Windows version and a Mac OS version. If you want to produce these versions with editorial comments sprinkled in the text during the review process, you’ll want even more versions: Mac OS with comments, Mac OS without comments, Windows with comments, and Windows without comments. For documents with many conditions, you can define condition sets that can be applied to the document for quick versioning. Number of condition tags required Decide how many condition tags you need to produce the desired versions. A version of a document is defined by a unique set of condition tags. For example, a version of a finished Windows manual might be defined by having a Windows condition tag showing, a Mac OS condition tag hidden, and a Comments condition tag hidden. In this example, you would need to decide whether to use one condition tag for Last updated 5/15/2011 97 USING INCOPY Text Windows comments and another for Mac OS comments, or whether to use a single condition tag for both Windows and Mac OS comments. Organization of content Evaluate the extent to which the document can be conditional and how you can organize the material to simplify development and maintenance. For example, you might be able to organize a book so that conditional text is limited to a few documents. Or you might choose to keep versions of a particular chapter in separate files rather than in conditional text, and then use a different book file for each version of the book. In some instances, such as when working with multiple languages, you may want to create separate layers that you can show or hide rather than using conditions, with each layer including text from a different language. Tagging strategy Determine the smallest unit of conditional text. For example, if a document will be translated to another language, a whole sentence should be the smallest amount of text you make conditional. Because word order often changes during translation, using conditional text for part of a sentence could complicate translation. Inconsistency in applying conditions to spaces and punctuation can result in extra spacing or misspelled words. Decide whether to make spaces and punctuation conditional. If conditional text begins or ends with punctuation, make the punctuation conditional too. This makes the text easier to read when you're viewing more than one version. To avoid word spacing problems, such as having an unconditional space followed by a conditional space, set standards for handling spaces following conditional text (either always conditional or always unconditional). To avoid confusion, decide the order in which conditional text will appear and use this order throughout the document. Indexes and cross-references When indexing a document, pay attention to whether index markers are placed inside or outside conditional text. Keep in mind that index markers in hidden conditional text are not included in the generated index. If you create a cross-reference to conditional text, make sure that the source text has the same condition. For example, if you add a cross-reference in a “Windows” paragraph and the text anchor appears in a “Mac” condition, the crossreference is unresolved when the “Mac” condition is hidden. “HT” appears next to the cross-reference in the Hyperlinks panel. If you create a cross-reference to a paragraph in which some text is conditional and then change the visibility settings of that condition, update the cross-reference. Create conditions Conditions you create are saved in the current document. If no documents are open when you create a condition, that condition appears in all new documents you create. You can make conditional text easy to identify by specifying condition indicators, such as wavy red underlines. In managed InCopy files, you can apply existing conditions, but you cannot create or delete conditions. You can hide or show conditional text in InCopy, but the changes do not appear in InDesign when the managed file is checked in. In InCopy standalone documents, you can create, apply, and change the visibility of conditions as in InDesign. 1 Choose Window > Type & Tables > Conditional Text to display the Conditional Text panel. 2 Choose New Condition from the Conditional Text panel menu, and type a name for the condition. 3 In the Indicator group, specify the appearance of the indicator to which the condition is applied. By default, indicators (such as wavy red lines) are set to appear in the document but not be printed or output. You can choose an option from the Indicators menu in the Conditional Text panel to hide indicators or to print and output them, which can be useful for review purposes. 4 Click OK. Last updated 5/15/2011 98 USING INCOPY Text Apply conditions to text You can apply multiple conditions to the same text. By default, condition indicators identify conditional text. However, if indicators are hidden, you can use the Conditional Text panel to determine which conditions have been applied to the current text. A solid check mark indicates the condition is applied to the current text. A dim check mark indicates that the condition is applied only to part of the selection. 1 Select the text to which you want to apply the condition. 2 In the Conditional Text panel (Windows > Type & Tables > Conditional Text), do any of the following: • To apply a condition, click the condition, or click the box next to the condition name. • To apply a condition and remove other conditions applied to the text, Alt-click (Windows) or Option-click (Mac OS) a condition. • To remove a condition, click the box next to the condition name to remove the check mark. Or, click [Unconditional] to remove all conditions from the selected text. Note: You cannot apply keyboard shortcuts to specific conditions. However, you can apply conditions using Quick Apply. Show or hide conditions When you hide a condition, all text to which that condition is applied is hidden. Hiding conditions often causes the page numbering to change in a document or book. You can use the Smart Text Reflow feature to add and remove pages automatically as you hide and show conditions. Hidden conditional text is generally ignored in the document. For example, hidden text is not printed or exported, index markers in hidden conditional text are not included in a generated index, and hidden conditional text is not included when searching or spell-checking text. When you hide a condition, the hidden text is stored in a hidden condition symbol . If you select text that contains a hidden condition symbol and try to delete it, InCopy prompts you to confirm that you want to delete the hidden conditional text. You cannot apply other conditions, styles, or formatting to hidden conditional text. If text has several conditions applied to it and at least one of those conditions is shown while another is hidden, the text is not hidden. • To show or hide individual conditions, click the visibility box next to a condition name. The eye icon indicates the condition is shown. • To show or hide all conditions, choose Show All or Hide All from the Conditional Text panel menu. Use condition sets A condition set captures the visibility settings for all conditions so that you can quickly apply different document renditions. For example, suppose you have a complex document with platform conditions for Mac OS, Windows XP, Vista, UNIX , language conditions for English, French, German, and Spanish, and editorial conditions such as Editorial Review and Internal Comments. For reviewing the Vista version in French, you can create a set that shows only the Vista, French, and Editorial Review conditions, and hides all the rest. While sets aren’t necessary to do this, they help you quickly and reliably change different condition visibility settings. 1 Apply conditions to text as necessary. 2 If the Set menu doesn’t appear in the Conditional Text panel, choose Show Options from the Conditional Text panel menu. 3 In the Conditional Text panel, make the conditions visible or hidden as needed. 4 Choose Create New Set from the Set menu, specify a name for the set, and click OK. Last updated 5/15/2011 99 USING INCOPY Text The new set becomes the active set. 5 Do any of the following: • To apply the condition set to a document, choose the condition set name from the Set menu. • To override a condition set, select the set to make it active, and change the visibility setting of any condition. A plus sign (+) appears next to the condition set. Choose the condition set again to remove overrides. Choose Redefine “[Condition Set]” to update the condition set with the new visibility settings. • To delete a condition set, select the condition set, and then choose Delete “[Condition Set].” Deleting a condition set does not delete the set’s conditions, nor does it remove the conditions from wherever they are applied. Manage conditions ❖ Do any of the following: Delete a condition Select a condition and click the Delete Condition icon at the bottom of the Conditional Text panel. Specify a condition to replace the deleted condition and click OK. The condition you specify is applied to all text to which the deleted condition was applied. To delete multiple conditions, Shift-click to select contiguous conditions, or Ctrl-click (Windows) or Command-click (Mac OS) to select non-contiguous conditions, and then click the Delete Condition icon. Remove a condition from text Removing a condition tag from text is different from deleting a tag from a document. When you remove a tag from text, the tag remains in the document so it can be applied again later. To remove a condition from text, select the text and click the box next to the condition to remove the check mark, or click [Unconditional] to remove all conditions from the selected text. Load (import) conditions Choose Load Conditions (to load only conditions) or Load Conditions And Sets from the Conditional Text panel menu. Select the InDesign document from which you want to import the conditions, and click Open. Loaded conditions and sets replace any condition or set that has an identical name. You cannot load conditions from an InCopy file in InDesign, but you can load conditions from an InDesign file in both InDesign and InCopy. Loaded sets ignore the visibility settings of the conditions currently in the Conditional Text panel. Synchronize conditions in a book To make sure you’re using the same conditions in all documents in a book, create the conditions you want in the style source document, select Conditional Text Settings in the Synchronize Options dialog box, and then synchronize the book. Show or hide condition indicators Choose Show or Hide from the Indicators menu in the Conditional Text panel to show or hide condition indicators. If you’re showing one version and want to see which areas are conditional, show the condition indicators. If you find the condition indicators distracting while viewing the layout, hide the condition indicators. Choose Show And Print if you want the condition indicators to be printed and output. Change a condition name In the Conditional Text panel, click a condition, pause, and then click the condition name to select it. Type a different name. Edit condition indicators In the Conditional Text panel, double-click a condition, or select a condition and choose Condition Options from the panel menu. Specify indicator settings, and click OK. Find and change conditional text Use the Find/Change dialog box to find text to which one or more conditions have been applied and replace it with one or more other conditions. 1 Show any conditional text you want included in the search.

Under Conditions, select [Any Condition] to search for text in which any conditon is applied, [Unconditional] to search for text in which no condition is applied, or select the specific condition or conditions you want to search for. Click OK. This feature finds text that perfectly matches the selected conditions. For example, if you select both Condition 1 and Condition 2, text to which only one of the conditions are applied isn’t found, nor is text found to which these two conditions and another is applied. 5 Click the Change Format box to display the Change Format Settings dialog box. Specify the different formatting option, such as a condition or a character style, and then click OK. If you select the Conditions section in the Change Format Settings dialog box, the [Any Condition] makes no changes to the found conditional text. This option is useful if you want to apply different formatting, such as a character style. Select [Unconditional] to remove all conditions from the found text. If you select a specific condition, specify whether you want it to replace any condition applied to the found text or be added to it. 6 Click Find, and then use the Change, Change/Find, or Change All buttons to replace the condition.

Nonbreaking Space (Fixed Width) A fixed width space prevents the line from being broken at the space character, but does not expand or compress in justified text. The fixed width space is identical to the Nonbreaking Space character inserted in InCopy CS2. One-third the width of an em space. Third Space Quarter Space Sixth Space One-fourth the width of an em space. One-sixth the width of an em space. Adds a variable amount of space to the last line of a fully justified paragraph, useful for justifying text in the last line. (See “Change Justification settings” on page 224.) Flush Space Hair Space Thin Space One-twenty-fourth the width of an em space. One-eighth the width of an em space. You may want to use a thin space on either side of an em dash or en dash. Figure Space Same width as a number in the typeface. Use a figure space to help align numbers in financial tables. Punctuation Space Same width as an exclamation point, period, or colon in the typeface.

Common Find/Change techniques Wildcard searches Specify wildcards, such as Any Digit or Any White Space, to broaden your search. For example, typing “s^?ng” in the Find What box searches for words beginning with an “s” and ending with “ng,” such as “sing,” “sang,” “song,” and “sung.” You can either type wildcard characters or choose an option from the Wildcards submenu in the pop-up menu next to the Find What text field. Clipboard for metacharacter searches To search for metacharacters such as em dashes or bullet characters, you may want to select the text first and paste it into the Find What box to spare the trouble of entering metacharacters. InCopy automatically converts pasted special characters to their metacharacter equivalent. Replace with clipboard contents You can replace search items with either formatted or unformatted content copied to the clipboard. You can even replace text with a graphic you copied. Simply copy the item, and then, in the Find/Change dialog box, choose an option from the Other submenu from the pop-up menu to the right of the Change To box. Find and remove unwanted text To remove unwanted text, define the text you want to remove in the Find What box and leave the Change To box empty (make sure that no formatting is set in this box). XML tagging You can apply XML tags to text you search for. Notes on finding and changing text in InCopy • If the Track Changes command is turned on when you are changing or replacing text, all added and deleted text is tracked. • All finding and changing procedures work essentially the same way in Galley, Story, and Layout views, whether you work with a linked or stand-alone story. If you work with a linked story, you’re limited to character and paragraph styles defined in InDesign. When you work in Galley or Story view, you cannot see all of the typographical effects you apply. You can see these effects only in Layout view. • In Galley view or Story view, the Find/Change command omits all collapsed stories. However, if you choose Change All, collapsed stories are affected. For best results, use Find/Change in Layout View. • The Include Note Content in Find/Change Operations in Notes preferences determines whether notes are searched. If this option is selected, you can use the Find/Change command to search notes in Galley and Story views, not in Layout view. Closed notes and footnotes are omitted from the search. Last updated 5/15/2011 110 USING INCOPY Text Search options for finding and changing text Search menu Contains options that determine the range of the search. • Documents Search the entire document or All Documents to search all open documents. • Story Search all text in the currently selected frame, including text in other threaded text frames and overset text.

Searches for text on layers that have been locked using the Layer Options dialog box. You cannot replace text on locked layers. Include Locked Layers Searches for text in stories that have been checked out as part of an InCopy workflow. You cannot replace text in locked stories. Include Locked Stories Searches for text on layers that have been hidden using the Layer Options dialog box. When text on a hidden layer is found, you can see highlighting where the text appears, but you cannot see the text. You can replace text on hidden layers. Include Hidden Layers Text in a hidden condition is always omitted from searching. Include Master Pages Include Footnotes Searches for text on master pages. Searches footnote text. Searches for only the word or words that exactly match the capitalization of the text in the Find What box. For example, a search for PrePress won’t find Prepress, prepress, or PREPRESS. Case Sensitive Disregards search characters if they are part of another word. For example, if you search for any as a whole word, InDesign disregards many. Whole Word Search using GREP expressions On the GREP tab of the Find/Change dialog box, you can construct GREP expressions to find alphanumeric strings and patterns in long documents or many open documents. You can enter the GREP metacharacters manually or choose them from the Special Characters For Search list. GREP searches are case-sensitive by default. InDesign Secrets provides a list of GREP resources at InDesign GREP. 1 Choose Edit > Find/Change, and click the GREP tab. 2 At the bottom of the dialog box, specify the range of your search from the Search menu, and click icons to include locked layers, master pages, footnotes, and other items in the search. 3 In the Find What box, do any of the following to construct a GREP expression: • Enter the search expression manually. (See “Metacharacters for searching” on page 114.) • Click the Special Characters For Search icon to the right of the Find What option and choose options from the Locations, Repeat, Match, Modifiers, and Posix submenus to help construct the search expression. 4 In the Change To box, type or paste the replacement text. 5 Click Find. 6 To continue searching, click Find Next, Change (to change the current occurrence), Change All (a message indicates the total number of changes), or Change/Find (to change the current occurrence and search for the next one. Last updated 5/15/2011 111 USING INCOPY Text You can also use GREP Styles to apply a character style to text that conforms to a GREP expression. In fact, the GREP Styles dialog box is a good way to test your GREP expression. Add the examples you want to find to a paragraph, and then specify a character style and GREP expression in the GREP Styles dialog box. When you turn on Preview, you can edit the expression until it affects all your examples properly. More Help topics “Create GREP styles” on page 177 “Metacharacters for searching” on page 114 Tips for constructing GREP searches Here are some tips for constructing GREP expressions. • Many searches under the GREP tab are similar to those under the Text tab, but be aware that you need to insert different codes depending on which tab you’re using. In general, the Text tab metacharacters begin with a ^ (such as ^t for a tab) and GREP tab metacharacters begin with a \ (such as \t for a tab). However, not all metacharacters follow this rule. For example, a paragraph return is ^p in the Text tab and \r in the GREP tab. For a list of the metacharacters used for the Text and GREP tabs, see “Metacharacters for searching” on page 114. • To search for a character that has symbolic meaning in GREP, enter a backslash (\) before the character to indicate that the character that follows is literal. For example, a period ( . ) searches for any character in a GREP search; to search for an actual period, enter “\.” • Save the GREP search as a query if you intend to run it often or share it with someone else. (See “Find/change items using queries” on page 120.) • Use parentheses to divide your search into subexpressions. For example, if you want to search for “cat” or “cot,” you can use the c(a|o)t string. Parentheses are especially useful to identify groupings. For example, searching for “the (cat) and the (dog)” identifies “cat” as Found Text 1 and “dog” as Found Text 2. You can use the Found Text expressions (such as $1 for Found Text 1) to change only part of the found text. GREP search examples Follow these examples to learn how to take advantage of GREP expressions. Example 1: Finding text within quotation marks Suppose you want to search for any word enclosed in quotation marks (such as “Spain”), and you want to remove the quotation marks and apply a style to the word (so that it becomes Spain instead of “Spain”). The expression (")(\w+)(") includes three groupings, as indicated by parentheses ( ). The first and third groupings search for any quotation mark, and the second grouping searches for one or more word characters. You can use the Found Text expressions to refer to these groupings. For example, $0 refers to all found text, and $2 refers to only the second grouping. By inserting $2 in the Change To field and specifying a character style in the Change Format field, you can search for a word within quotation marks, and then replace the word with a character style. Because only $2 is specified, the $1 and $3 groupings are removed. (Specifying $0 or $1$2$3 in the Change To field would apply the character style to the quotation marks as well.) Last updated 5/15/2011 112 USING INCOPY Text A B C GREP example A. Finds all word characters enclosed in quotation marks B. The character style is applied to the second grouping (the word) while the first and third groupings (open and close quotes) are removed C. Character style specified This example searches only for single words enclosed in quotation marks. If you want to search for phrases enclosed in parentheses, add wildcard expressions, such as (\s*.*\w*\d*), which looks for spaces, characters, word characters, and digits. Example 2: Phone numbers InDesign includes a number of search presets that you can choose from the Queries menu. For example, you can choose the Phone Number Conversion query, which looks like this: \(?(\d\d\d)\)?[-. ]?(\d\d\d)[-. ]?(\d\d\d\d) Phone numbers in the United States can appear in a variety of formats, such as 206-555-3982, (206) 555-3982, 206.555.3982, and 206 555 3982. This string looks for any of these variations. The first three digits (\d\d\d) of the phone number may or may not be enclosed in parentheses, so a question mark appears after the parentheses: \(? and \)?. Note that the backslash \ indicates that the actual parenthesis is being searched for and that it’s not part of a subexpression. The brackets [ ] locate any character within them, so in this case, [-. ] finds either a hyphen, a period, or a space. The question mark after the brackets indicate that the items within it are optional in the search. Finally, the digits are enclosed in parentheses, which signify groupings that can be referred to in the Change To field. You can edit the grouping references in the Change To field to suit your needs. For example, you could use these expressions: 206.555.3982 = $1.$2.$3 206-555-3982 = $1-$2-$3 (206) 555-3982 = ($1) $2-$3 206 555 3982 = $1 $2 $3 Additional GREP examples Experiment with the examples in this table to learn more about GREP searches.

A macro can be simple—it can type a word or phrase you use often—or it can be complex, such as a formatted address. A macro code is the name of the text macro you create. For example, instead of repeatedly typing “Centers for Disease Control and Prevention,” you can create a macro code (such as “cdc”) that changes to the full name. 1 Choose Window > Text Macros. 2 If you want to create a text macro from existing text, select the text in the document. 3 Choose New Macro from the Text Macros panel menu, or click the New Macro button in the Text Macros panel. 4 Enter a macro code in the Macro Code text box. Note that macro codes are case-sensitive. The code appears in the Text Macros list. 5 For Macro Text, type the text string that you want entered when you activate the text macro. 6 To include text attributes from the existing text when inserting or swapping macro text, select Remember Text Attributes. By default, inserted or swapped macro text uses the style attributes of the destination paragraph. 7 To assign a keyboard shortcut for activating the macro, place the cursor in the Macro Key Shortcut text box, and press the keys you want to use for the shortcut. Shortcuts are especially useful if you turn off Automatically Swap Macro Text in the Text Macros panel. If the keyboard shortcut you want to assign to the macro is already assigned to another function, the alert symbol appears at the bottom of the dialog box with the message “Currently Assigned To: [function].” If you choose to assign the keyboard shortcut to the macro, the previous keyboard shortcut function is overridden. 8 Click OK. You can replace the macro code with macro text automatically while typing, by using a macro key shortcut, or by choosing Swap Macro Text from the Text Macros panel menu.

Text Macro button 2 Enter your changes in the text box, and click OK. Duplicate a macro Use the Duplicate Macro command to create a copy of an existing macro. The duplicate macro is assigned the same code as the original, but with a number appended to it, and is listed immediately after the original macro in the Text Macros panel. For example, duplicating the macro “DOT” creates a copy of the macro, named “DOT1.” 1 Select the text macro you want to duplicate from the list in the Text Macros panel. 2 Choose Duplicate Macro from the Text Macros panel menu. Delete a text macro 1 Select the text macro you want to delete from the Text Macros panel list. 2 Choose Delete Macro from the Text Macros panel menu. Important: Once you delete a macro, you cannot undo the deletion. Insert or swap macro text You can insert macro text in three different ways: Using the Insert Macro Text command to insert macro text at the insertion point, having macro text inserted automatically while typing, or swapping existing text with macro text. Insert macro text automatically If Automatically Swap Macro Text is selected, macro codes are automatically converted to macro text while you type. For example, if you created a macro code named “cdc,” when you type cdc followed by a word-ending character such a space or period, Center for Disease Control and Prevention appears. The macro code is case-sensitive. 1 Make sure that Automatically Swap Macro Text from the Text Macros panel menu is selected. (A check mark should appear next to it.) 2 Type the macro code followed by a word-ending character (space, comma, period, or paragraph return). If you want to restore the macro code text, choose Edit > Undo until the macro code reappears. Insert macro text at the insertion point The Insert Macro Text command places the selected macro text at the current text insertion point. 1 Using the Type tool , click the location where you want to insert the macro text. 2 Do one of the following: • Press the macro keyboard shortcut for the macro you want. • Select the macro you want from the Text Macros panel, and choose Insert Macro Text from the panel menu, or click the Insert Macro Text button . Last updated 5/15/2011 123 USING INCOPY Text Swap text with macro text The Swap Macro Text command searches the text immediately preceding the current text insertion point for any defined macro code (case-sensitive) and, if one is found, removes the macro code and replaces it with the associated macro text. For example, you have created a text macro for Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the macro code is CDC. To use the macro, type The CDC, and then with the text insertion point placed immediately following the macro code, choose Swap Macro Text. InCopy then searches the text immediately preceding the insertion point and replaces CDC with the macro text Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. 1 Using the Type tool , click to the immediate right of the macro code that you want to replace, or select the text you want to replace. 2 Choose Swap Macro Text from the Text Macros panel menu, or choose Edit > Swap Macro Text. Note: The Swap Macro Text command does not continue to search the entire document for every occurrence of the macro code. To find and replace all instances of a word or phrase, use the Find/Change command. Text variables Create and edit text variables A text variable is an item you insert in your document that varies according to the context. For example, the Last Page Number variable displays the page number of the last page of the document. If you add or remove pages, the variable is updated accordingly. InCopy includes several preset text variables that you can insert in your document. You can edit the format of these variables, or you can create your own. Some variables, such as Running Header and Chapter Number, are especially useful for adding to master pages to ensure consistent formatting and numbering. Other variables, such as Creation Date and File Name, are useful for adding to the slug area for printing. Note: Adding too much text to a variable may cause overset or compressed text. Variable text does not break across lines. More Help topics “Define caption variables” on page 127 “Create variables for running headers and footers” on page 127 Create or edit text variables The options available for creating the variable depend on the type of variable you specify. For example, if you choose the Chapter Number type, you can specify text to appear both before and after the number, and you can specify the numbering style. You can create several different variables based on the same variable type. For example, you can create one variable that displays “Chapter 1” and another that displays “Ch. 1.” Similarly, if you choose the Running Header type, you can specify which style is used as the basis for the header, and you can select options for deleting end punctuation and changing the case. 1 If you want to create text variables for use in all new documents you create, close all documents. Otherwise, the text variables you create appear only in the current document. 2 Choose Type > Text Variables > Define. 3 Click New, or select an existing variable and click Edit. 4 Type a name for the variable, such as “Full Chapter” or “Running Title.” Last updated 5/15/2011 124 USING INCOPY Text 5 From the Type menu, choose a variable type, specify the options for that type, and then click OK. Different options are available depending on the variable type you select. Text Before / Text After For all variable types (except Custom Text), you can specify text that will be added before or after the variable. For example, you can add the word “of” before the Last Page Number variable and the phrase “total pages” after the variable to create an “of 12 total pages” effect. You can also paste text into the boxes, but special characters such as tabs and auto page numbers are stripped out. To insert special characters, click the triangle to the right of the text box. Style For all numbered variable types, you can specify the numbering style. If [Current Numbering Style] is selected, the variable uses the same numbering style selected in the document’s Numbering & Section Options dialog box. Variable types Chapter Number A variable created with the Chapter Number type inserts the chapter number. You can insert text before or after the chapter number, and you can specify a numbering style. If the document’s chapter number is set to continue from the previous document in the book, you may need to update the book’s numbering in order for the appropriate chapter number to appear. Creation Date, Modification Date, and Output Date Creation Date inserts the date or time the document is first saved; Modification Date inserts the date or time the document was last saved to disk; Output Date inserts the date or time the document starts a print job, exports to PDF, or packages the document. You can insert text before and after the date, and you can modify the date format for all date variables. Date Format You can type date formats directly into the Date Format box, or you can choose format options by clicking the triangle to the right of the box. For example, the date format “MM/dd/yy” displays as 12/22/07. By changing the format to “MMM. d, yyyy” the date will display as Dec. 22, 2007. Date variables use the language applied to text. For example, the creation date may appear in Spanish text as “01 diciembre 2007” and in German as “01 Dezember 2007.” Abbreviation Description Example M Month number, no leading zero 8 MM Month number, leading zero 08 MMM Abbreviated month name Aug MMMM Full month name August d Day number, no leading zero 5 dd Day number, leading zero 05 E Weekday name, abbreviated Fri EEEE Full weekday name Friday yy or YY Year number, last two digits 07 y (Y) or yyyy (YYYY) Full year number 2007 G or GGGG Era, abbreviated or expanded AD or Anno Domini Last updated 5/15/2011 125 USING INCOPY Text Abbreviation Description Example h Hour, no leading zero 4 hh Hour, leading zero 04 H Hour, no leading zero, 24-hour format 16 HH Hour, leading zero, 24-hour format 16 m Minute, no leading zero 7 mm Minute leading zero 07 s Second, no leading zero 7 ss Second, leading zero 07 a AM or PM, two characters PM z or zzzz Time zone, abbreviated or expanded PST or Pacific Standard Time File Name This variable inserts the name of the current file into the document. It’s commonly added to the slug area of the document for printing or used in headers and footers. In addition to Text Before and Text After, you can choose the following options. Include Entire Folder Path Select to include the full folder path with the file name. The standard path conventions for either Windows or Mac OS are used. Include File Extension Select to include the file name extension. The File Name variable is updated whenever you save the file with a new name or to a new location. The path or extension does not appear in the document until it’s saved. Image Name The Image Name variable is useful for generating automatic captions from metadata. The Image Name variable includes a Metadata Caption variable type. If a text frame containing this variable is adjacent to or grouped with an image, the variable displays the metadata of that image. You can edit the Image Name variable to determine which metadata field is used. Last Page Number The Last Page Number type is useful for adding the total number of pages in a document to headers and footers using the common “Page 3 of 12” format. In this case, the number 12 is generated by the Last Page Number, and it’s updated whenever pages are added or removed. You can insert text before or after the last page number, and you can specify a numbering style. From the Scope menu, choose an option to determine whether the last page number in the section or document is used. Note that the Last Page Number variable does not count the pages in the document. Running Header (Paragraph or Character Style) The Running Header variables insert the first or last occurrence on the page of the text to which the specified style is applied. If no text on the page is formatted with the specified style, the text from a previous page is used. Last updated 5/15/2011 126 USING INCOPY Text Custom Text This variable is commonly used for inserting placeholder text, or a text string that may need to be changed quickly. For example, if you’re working on a project that uses a code name for a company, you can create a custom text variable for the code name. When you are able to use the real company name, you can simply change the variable to update all the occurrences. To insert special characters in a text variable, click the triangle to the right of the text box. Insert text variables 1 Place the insertion point where you want the variable to appear. 2 Choose Type > Text Variables > Insert Variable, and then choose the variable you want to insert. The variable appears on the page as if you’d typed it in the document. For example, the Creation Date variable might appear as December 22, 2007.

You can also copy variables to other documents when you synchronize a book file. Create variables for running headers and footers By default, the Running Header variables insert the first occurrence (on the page) of the text to which the specified style is applied. Running Header variables are especially useful for displaying the current heading or title in the header or footer. 1 If your content is not already formatted, create and apply the paragraph style or character style for the text you want to appear in the header (such as a title or heading style). 2 Choose Type > Text Variables > Define. 3 Click New, and then type a name for the variable. 4 From the Type menu, choose Running Header (Paragraph Style) or Running Header (Character Style). 5 Specify the following options: Style Choose the style to display in your header or footer. Use Decide whether you want the first or last occurrence of the style that’s applied on the page. First On Page is the first paragraph (or character) that begins on a page. If there is no occurrence of the style on the page, the previous occurrence of the applied style is used. If there is no previous occurrence in the document, the variable is empty. Delete End Punctuation If selected, the variable displays the text minus any end punctuation (periods, colons, exclamation points, and question marks). Change Case Select this option to change the case of the text that appears in the header or footer. For example, you may want to use sentence case in your footer, even though the heading on the page appears in title case. 6 Click OK, and then click Done in the Text Variables dialog box. If a header or footer text frame has been created on the master page of the InDesign document, you can insert the variable in the header or footer. (See “Edit text on a master page” on page 93.) Define caption variables Caption variables are updated automatically when a text frame containing a caption variable is moved next to an image. By default, the Name metadata is used for the variable type when you choose Type > Text Variables > Insert Variable > Image Name. You can edit the Image Name variable, or you can create new variables that specify image metadata. 1 Choose Type > Text Variables > Define. 2 Choose New to create a variable or Edit to edit an existing variable. 3 For Type, select Metadata Caption. 4 Choose an option from the Metadata menu. 5 Specify text that appears before or after the metadata, and then choose OK.

You can create footnotes or import them from Word or RTF documents. Footnotes are automatically numbered as they are added to a document. Numbering restarts in each story. You can control the numbering style, appearance, and layout of footnotes. You cannot add footnotes to tables or to footnote text. The width of the footnote text is based on the width of the column containing the footnote reference marker. Footnotes cannot space columns in a text frame. You cannot create endnotes in InDesign. However, Bob Bringhurst provides a workaround for creating endnotes at Endnotes in InDesign. Endnotes in converted Microsoft Word documents are formatted as text, not footnotes.

Footnote numbering and formatting options The following options appear in the Numbering And Formatting section of the Footnote Options dialog box: Numbering Style Choose the numbering style for footnote reference numbers. Start At Specify the number used for the first footnote in the story. Each story in a document begins with the same Start At number. If you have multiple documents in a book with continued page numbering, you may want to start the footnote numbering in each chapter to continue where the last chapter left off. The Start At option is especially useful for documents in a book. Footnote numbering is not continued across documents in a book. Restart Numbering Every If you want numbering to restart within the document, select this option and choose Page, Spread, or Section to determine when footnote numbering is restarted. Some numbering styles, such as asterisks (*), work best when reset every page. Show Prefix/Suffix In Select this option to show prefixes or suffixes in the footnote reference, the footnote text, or both. Prefixes appear before the number (such as [1) and suffixes appear after the number (such as 1]). This option is especially useful for placing footnotes within characters, such as [1]. Type a character or characters or select an option for Prefix, Suffix, or both. To select special characters, click the icons next to the Prefix and Suffix controls to display a menu. If you think the footnote reference number is too close to the preceding text, adding one of the space characters as a prefix might improve the appearance. You can also apply a character style to the reference number. Position This option determines the appearance of the footnote reference number, which is superscript by default. If you prefer to format the number using a character style (such as a character style that includes OpenType superscript settings), choose Apply Normal, and specify the character style. Character Style You may want to choose a character style to format the footnote reference number. For example, instead of using superscript, you might want to use a character style at a normal position with an elevated baseline. The menu displays the character styles available in the Character Styles panel. Paragraph Style You may want to choose a paragraph style that formats the footnote text for all footnotes in the document. The menu displays the paragraph styles available in the Paragraph Styles panel. By default, the [Basic Paragraph] style is used. Note that the [Basic Paragraph] style may not have the same appearance as the default font settings for the document. Separator The separator determines the white space that appears between the footnote number and the start of the footnote text. To change the separator, first select or delete the existing separator, and then choose a new separator. You can include multiple characters. To insert white space characters, use the appropriate metacharacter, such as ^m for em space. Last updated 5/15/2011 138 USING INCOPY Text Footnote layout options The following options appear in the Layout section of the Footnote Options dialog box: Minimum Space Before First Footnote This option determines the minimum amount of space between the bottom of the column and the first footnote line. You cannot use a negative value. Any Space Before setting in the footnote paragraph is ignored. Space Between Footnotes This option determines the distance between the last paragraph of one footnote and the first paragraph of the next footnote in a column. You cannot use a negative value. The Space Before/Space After values in a footnote’s paragraph apply only if the footnote includes multiple paragraphs. First Baseline Offset This option determines the distance between the start of the footnote area (where the footnote divider appears by default) and the first line of footnote text. Place End Of Story Footnotes At Bottom Of Text Select this option if you want the last column’s footnotes to appear just below the text in the last frame of the story. If this option is not selected, any footnote in the last frame of the story appears at the bottom of the column. Allow Split Footnotes Select this option if you want footnotes to break across a column when the footnote exceeds the amount of space available for it in that column. If splitting is not allowed, the line containing the footnote reference number moves to the next column, or the text becomes overset. Footnote split across column. If Allow Split Footnotes is turned on, you can still prevent an individual footnote from splitting by placing the insertion point in the footnote text, choosing Keep Options from the Paragraph panel menu, and selecting the Keep Lines Together and All Lines In Paragraph options.

Last updated 5/15/2011 139 USING INCOPY Text Work with footnote text As you edit footnote text, note the following: • When the insertion point is in footnote text, choosing Edit > Select All selects all the footnote text for that footnote, but no other footnote or text. • Use the arrow keys to navigate among footnotes. • In Galley view or Story view, you can click the footnote icon to expand or collapse footnotes. You can expand or collapse all footnotes by right-clicking (Windows) or Ctrl-clicking (Mac OS) a footnote and choosing Expand All Footnotes or Collapse All Footnotes. • You can select and apply character and paragraph formatting to footnote text. You can also select and change the appearance of the footnote reference number, but the recommended method is using the Document Footnote Options dialog box. • When you cut or copy text that includes the footnote reference number, the footnote text is also added to the clipboard. If you copy the text to a different document, the footnotes in that text use the characteristics of the new document’s numbering and layout appearance. • If you accidentally delete the footnote number at the start of the footnote text, you can add it back by placing the insertion point at the beginning of the footnote text, right-clicking (Windows) or Control-clicking (Mac OS), and choosing Insert Special Character > Markers > Footnote Number. • Text wrap has no effect on footnote text. • If you clear overrides and character styles on a paragraph that includes a footnote reference marker, the footnote reference numbers lose the attributes you applied in the Document Footnote Options dialog box. Hyperlinks Hyperlinks panel overview You can create hyperlinks so that when you export to Adobe PDF or SWF in InDesign, a viewer can click a link to jump to other locations in the same document, to other documents, or to websites. Hyperlinks you export to PDF or SWF in InCopy are not active. A source is hyperlinked text or a hyperlinked graphic. A destination is the URL, file, email address, page, text anchor, or shared destination to which a hyperlink jumps. A source can jump to only one destination, but any number of sources can jump to the same destination. Note: If you want the source text to be generated from the destination text, insert a cross-reference instead of adding a hyperlink. See “Cross-references” on page 145.

The disadvantage is that if you update or relink the cross-reference, any local formatting changes are removed. Copyfitting text Copyfitting text InCopy keeps track of several text statistics and makes this data available in the Copyfit Info toolbar. As you write your story, the Copyfit Info toolbar automatically displays the number of lines, words, and characters, and the vertical depth at the bottom of the work area for both linked and stand-alone stories in Galley and Layout views. Note: You can make the Copyfit Info toolbar a floating panel. (See “Use toolbars” on page 11.) For linked InCopy documents or for stand-alone documents with a Depth setting, the Copyfit Progress Info box indicates the precise amount by which a story is too long or too short. If the story doesn’t fill the frames assigned to it, the copyfit box turns blue and displays a count. The length of the blue bar indicates roughly what percentage of the frame is currently filled with text. The shorter the blue bar, the more text you need to add to fill the space. Copyfit Info toolbar If the text overflows the assigned frame space, a copyfit line indicates where overset text begins, and the Copyfit Progress Info box turns red and displays the amount you need to cut to fit copy into the frame. (See “Editing overset text” on page 153.) Last updated 5/15/2011 153 USING INCOPY Text Note: The red bar is always the same length. It does not reflect any percentage of the space available.

(See “Customize Copyfit Info settings” on page 153.) When you show hidden characters (choose Type > Show Hidden Characters), InCopy displays a number sign (#) at the end of the last character to indicate the end of the text flow for a story.

Editing overset text If a story is linked to an InDesign layout, the story is limited to the frames the designer specifies. If you specified a Depth setting when creating a stand-alone InCopy document, the story is limited to that depth. When you type more than the allowed length of text, the text is overset. When the story is underset, there is space available to be filled with text. As you write and edit, you can tell when your story fits perfectly into the InDesign layout. You can still edit overset text. In Galley view or Story view, overset text is set apart from the rest of the story by a copyfit break line. You use the same procedures to write and edit the text, whether it is above or below the copyfit break line.

Checking spelling Check spelling You can check the spelling in a document or in all open stories. InCopy highlights misspelled or unknown words, repeated words (such as “the the”), uncapitalized words, and uncapitalized sentences. When performing a spell check, InCopy checks all XML content and expanded inline notes. When you check spelling, InCopy uses the dictionary for the languages you assigned to the text in your document. InCopy uses the Proximity language dictionaries for both spelling and hyphenation. Each dictionary contains hundreds of thousands of words with standard hyphenation breaks. For stand-alone stories (stories not linked to an InDesign layout), you can customize language dictionaries to ensure that any unique vocabulary you use is recognized and treated correctly. For example, when you run a spelling check (Edit > Spelling > Check Spelling), you can click Add and enter the settings you want.

Hyphenation and spelling dictionaries InCopy uses Proximity dictionaries for most languages to verify spelling and to hyphenate words. You can add words to each dictionary to customize it. You can assign different languages to text, and InCopy uses the appropriate dictionary to handle spelling and hyphenation. You can create additional user dictionaries, and you can import or export word lists saved in a plain text file. When you customize the words in a dictionary, you actually create lists of added words (words that aren’t already in the dictionary) and removed words (existing dictionary words that you want to be flagged as a potential misspelling). The Dictionary dialog box lets you display and edit added words, removed words, and ignored words (words that are ignored for the current session because you clicked Ignore All). You can add words that apply to all languages, which is especially useful for last names, street names, and other items that aren’t specific to a language. If you want to use the language dictionaries from a previous version of InDesign or InCopy, use your system Find command to locate the user dictionary files (.udc), and then add them to your list of dictionaries in Dictionary preferences. Where dictionary words are stored By default, hyphenation and spelling exceptions are located in user dictionary files stored outside the document on the computer where InCopy is installed (dictionary file names end with a .clam or .not extension). However, you can also store exception lists inside any InCopy document. In addition, you can store word lists in an external user dictionary, in the document, or in both. The location of existing dictionaries appears in the Dictionary preferences. Applying languages to text You can use the Language menu in the Control panel or Character panel to apply a language to selected text. You can also specify a default language for an entire document, or for all new documents. (See “Assign a language to text” on page 195.) Last updated 5/15/2011 157 USING INCOPY Text Exception word lists You can exclude words from being considered. For example, if you want to use an alternate spelling for a common word such as “bicycle,” which you may need to spell in a different way for your company name or for a specific document, add the word to the list of excluded words so that it will be flagged during a spell check. InCopy can maintain a separate set of added and removed words for each installed language. Create or add user dictionaries You can create a user dictionary, or you can add user dictionaries from previous InDesign or InCopy versions, from files that others have sent you, or from a server where your workgroup’s user dictionary is stored.

When a user dictionary is stored on a server, the first user to load the dictionary locks the file; all subsequent users see that the dictionary is locked. Files can also be locked through the operating system, when the file is made read-only. If you share a user dictionary over the network server, you may want to lock the file so that it’s read-only for all users, allowing only the administrator to add words. Make sure that everyone in the workgroup uses the customized user dictionary installed on the common network workstation, and not the dictionary stored with a document. However, before you take a document to a service provider, you might want to merge the user dictionary into the document.

A paragraph style includes both character and paragraph formatting attributes, and can be applied to a paragraph or range of paragraphs. Paragraph styles and character styles are found on separate panels. Paragraph and characters styles are sometimes called text styles. When you change the formatting of a style, all text to which the style has been applied will be updated with the new format. You can create, edit, and delete styles in stand-alone Adobe InCopy documents or in InCopy content that is linked to an Adobe InDesign CS4 document. When the contents are updated in InDesign, new styles are added to the InDesign document, but any style modifications made in InCopy will be overridden by the InDesign style. For linked content, it is usually best to manage your styles in InDesign. For a video tutorial on making a paragraph style, see www.adobe.com/go/lrvid4277_id. For a video tutorial on using text styles, see www.adobe.com/go/vid0076. Thomas Silkjaer provides samples of styles at Free InDesign Style Template. [Basic Paragraph] styles By default, each new document contains a [Basic Paragraph] style that is applied to text you type. You can edit this style, but you can’t rename or delete it. You can rename and delete styles that you create. You can also select a different default style to apply to text. Character style attributes Unlike paragraph styles, character styles do not include all the formatting attributes of selected text. Instead, when you create a character style, InDesign makes only those attributes that are different from the formatting of the selected text part of the style. That way, you can create a character style that, when applied to text, changes only some attributes, such as the font family and size, ignoring all other character attributes. If you want other attributes to be part of the style, add them when editing the style. Next Style You can automatically apply styles as you type text. If, for example, your document’s design calls for the style “body text” to follow a heading style named “heading 1,” you can set the Next Style option for “heading 1” to “body text.” After you’ve typed a paragraph styled with “heading 1,” pressing Enter or Return starts a new paragraph styled with “body text.” If you use the context menu when applying a style to two or more paragraphs, you can cause the parent style to be applied to the first paragraph and the Next Style to be applied to the additional paragraphs. (See “Apply styles” on page 167.) To use the Next Style feature, choose a style from the Next Style menu when you’re creating or editing a style. Jeff Witchel provides a video tutorial about using the Next Style feature at Using the Next Style feature.

When specifying a Character Color in the Style Options dialog box, you can create a new color by double-clicking the fill or stroke box. 9 For character styles, attributes you do not specify are ignored; when the style is applied, text will retain the paragraph style formatting for that attribute. To remove an attribute setting from a character style: • From a setting’s menu, choose (Ignore). • In a text box, delete the option text. • In a check box, click until you see a small box (Windows) or a hyphen (-) (Mac OS). • For a character color, hold down Ctrl (Windows) or Command (Mac OS) and click the color swatch. 10 When you’ve finished specifying the formatting attributes, click OK. Styles you create appear only in the current document. If no document is open, the styles you create will appear in all new documents. Base one paragraph or character style on another Many document designs feature hierarchies of styles sharing certain attributes. The headings and subheads, for example, often use the same font. You can easily create links between similar styles by creating a base, or parent, style. When you edit the parent style, the child styles will change as well. You can then edit the child styles to distinguish them from the parent style. To create a style that’s nearly identical to another style, but without the parent-child relationship, use the Duplicate Style command and then edit the copy. 1 Create a new style. 2 In the New Paragraph Style or New Character Style dialog box, select the parent style in the Based On menu. The new style becomes the child style. By default, new styles are based on [No Paragraph Style] or [None], or on the style of any currently selected text. 3 Specify formatting in the new style to distinguish it from the style on which it’s based. For example, you might want to make the font used in a subheading slightly smaller than the one used in the heading (parent) style. If you make changes to the formatting of a child style and decide you want to start over, click Reset To Base. That restores the child style’s formatting to be identical to the style on which it’s based. Then you can specify new formatting. Similarly, if you change the Based On style of the child style, the child style definition is updated to match its new parent style. Import styles from other documents You can import paragraph styles and character styles from an InDesign or InCopy document into a stand-alone InCopy document or InCopy content that is linked to InDesign.

For example, if both documents have a Subheading style, the loaded style is renamed “Subheading copy” in the current document. Map styles to export tags (CS5.5) Use Export Tagging to define how text with InDesign styles is marked up in HTML, EPUB, or tagged PDF output. You can also specify CSS class names to add to the exported content. In EPUB/HTML export, CSS classes can be used to differentiate between slight variations in styling. Class names are required if you are using the option to Include Style Definitions and the tags are mapped to the basic styles such as p, h1, and h2; class names are then used to generate style definitions.

Selecting this option uses the original left side bearing of the drop-cap character rather than the larger value. It’s particularly useful for drop caps formatted in sans serif fonts. 5 If the drop cap character overlaps the text below it, select Scale For Descenders. 6 Click OK. If you want to apply a different nested style to any characters after the drop cap, use the New Nested Style option. (See “Create nested styles” on page 172.) More Help topics “Use drop caps” on page 198 Create nested styles You can specify character-level formatting for one or more ranges of text within a paragraph or line. You can also set up two or more nested styles to work together, one taking over where the previous one ends. For paragraphs with repetitive and predictable formatting, you can even loop back to the first style in the sequence. Nested styles are especially useful for run-in headings. For example, you can apply one character style to the first letter in a paragraph and another character style that takes effect through the first colon (:). For each nested style, you can define a character that ends the style, such as a tab character or the end of a word. Note: You can create new styles in a stand-alone InCopy document, but not in content linked to an InDesign layout. Last updated 5/15/2011 173 USING INCOPY Styles In this example, the Number character style formats the first word, and the Run-in character style formats text through the first colon.

Create one or more nested styles 1 Create one or more character styles that you want to use to format text. 2 Do one of the following: • To add nested styles to a paragraph style, double-click the paragraph style, and then click Drop Caps And Nested Styles. • To add nested styles to a single paragraph, choose Drop Caps And Nested Styles from the Paragraph panel menu. Note: For best results, apply nested styles as part of paragraph styles. If you apply nested styles as local overrides to a paragraph, subsequent editing or formatting changes in the nested style can produce unexpected character formatting in the styled text. 3 Click New Nested Style one or more times.

If you haven’t created a character style, choose New Character Style and specify the formatting you want to use. • Specify the item that ends the character style formatting. You can also type the character, such as a colon (:) or a specific letter or number. You cannot type a word. • Specify how many instances of the selected item (such as characters, words, or sentences) are required. • Choose Through or Up To. Choosing Through includes the character that ends the nested style, while choosing Up To formats only those characters that precede this character. • Select a style and click the up button or down button to change the order of the styles in the list. The order of the styles determines the sequence in which the formatting is applied. The formatting defined by the second style begins where the formatting of the first style concludes. If you apply a character style to the drop cap, the drop-cap character style acts as the first nested style. Create nested line styles You can apply a character style to a specified number of lines in a paragraph. As with nested styles, you can set up two or more nested line styles to work together, and you can create a repeating sequence. Attributes applied by nested line styles can co-exist with attributes applied by nested styles. For example, a nested line style can apply a color while a nested style can apply italics. If both set conflicting settings of the same attribute, such as red and blue, the nested style takes precedence over the nested line style. 1 Create one or more character styles that you want to use to format text. 2 Do one of the following: • To add nested line styles to a paragraph style, double-click the paragraph style, and then click Drop Caps And Nested Styles. • To add nested line styles to a single paragraph, choose Drop Caps And Nested Styles from the Paragraph panel menu. 3 Click New Nested Line Style one or more times. 4 Click the character style area, and then select a character style to determine the appearance of that section.

Select a style and click the up button or down button to change the order of the styles in the list. The order determines the sequence in which the formatting is applied. 6 Click OK. Loop through nested styles You can repeat a series of two or more nested styles throughout a paragraph. A simple example would be to alternate red and green words in a paragraph. Or, in nested line styles you could alternate red and green lines in a paragraph. The repeating pattern remains intact even if you add or remove words in the paragraph. 1 Create the character styles you want to use. 2 Edit or create a paragraph style, or place the insertion point in the paragraph you want to format. 3 In the Drop Caps And Nested Styles section or dialog box, click New Nested Style (or New Nested Line Style) at least twice and choose settings for each style.

In some cases, you may want to skip the first style or styles. For example, an events calendar paragraph may include “This Week’s Events” followed by days of the week and their events. In this case, you could create five nested styles: one for “This Week’s Events,” one each for the day, event, and event time, and a final style with a [Repeat] value of 3, thereby excluding the first nested style from the loop.

Last updated 5/15/2011 183 USING INCOPY Typography Using fonts About fonts A font is a complete set of characters—letters, numbers, and symbols—that share a common weight, width, and style, such as 10-pt Adobe Garamond Bold. Typefaces (often called type families or font families) are collections of fonts that share an overall appearance, and are designed to be used together, such as Adobe Garamond. A type style is a variant version of an individual font in a font family. Typically, the Roman or Plain (the actual name varies from family to family) member of a font family is the base font, which may include type styles such as regular, bold, semibold, italic, and bold italic. Installing fonts When you install InCopy or the Adobe Creative Suite, fonts are automatically installed in the system fonts folder— Windows\Fonts in Windows or Library/Fonts in Mac OS. For information on installing and activating fonts to be used in all applications, see your system documentation or your font manager documentation. You can make fonts available in InCopy by copying the font files into the Fonts folder inside the InDesign application folder on your hard drive. However, fonts in this Fonts folder are available only to InCopy . If two or more fonts are active in InCopy and use the same family name but have different Adobe PostScript names, the fonts are available in InCopy . Duplicate fonts are listed in the menus with their font technologies abbreviated in parentheses. For example, a Helvetica TrueType font appears as “Helvetica (TT),” a Helvetica PostScript Type 1 font appears as “Helvetica (T1),” and a Helvetica OpenType font appears as “Helvetica (OTF).” If two fonts have the same PostScript name and one includes .dfont in its name, the other font is used. More Help topics “Installing OpenType fonts” on page 185 Apply a font to text When you specify a font, you can select the font family and its type style independently. When you change from one font family to another, InCopy attempts to match the current style with the style available in the new font family. For example, Arial Bold would change to Times Bold when you change from Arial to Times. When you apply a bold or italic style to type, InCopy applies the typeface style specified by the font. In most cases, the specific version of bold or italic is applied as expected. However, some fonts may apply a bold or italic variation that isn’t exactly labeled bold or italic, respectively. For example, some font designers specify that when you apply bold to a font, the semibold variation is applied. 1 Select the text you want to change. 2 Do any of the following: • In the Character panel or Control panel, select a font in the Font Family menu or a style in the Type Style menu. (In Mac OS, you can select type styles in the Font Family submenus.) • In the Character panel or Control panel, click in front of the font family name or type style name (or double-click its first word) and type in the first few characters of the name you want. As you type, InCopy displays font family or type style names that match the characters you’ve typed. • Choose a font in the Type > Font menu. Note that you choose both a font family and a type style when you use this menu. Last updated 5/15/2011 184 USING INCOPY Typography Specify a typeface size By default, typeface size is measured in points (a point equals 1/72 of an inch). You can specify any typeface size from 0.1 to 1296 points, in 0.001-point increments. Note: In Fireworks, the typeface size is measured in pixels by default. 1 Select the characters or type objects you want to change. If you don’t select any text, the typeface size applies to new text you create. 2 Do one of the following: • In the Character panel or Control bar set the Font Size option. • Choose a size from the Type > Size menu. Choosing Other lets you type a new size in the Character panel. You can change the unit of measurement for type in the Preferences dialog box. This option is not available in Fireworks. Previewing fonts You can view samples of a font in the font family and font style menus in the Character panel and other areas in the application from where you can choose fonts. The following icons are used to indicate different kinds of fonts: • OpenType • Type 1 • TrueType • Multiple Master • Composite You can turn off the preview feature or change the point size of the font names or font samples in Type preferences. OpenType fonts OpenType fonts use a single font file for both Windows® and Macintosh® computers, so you can move files from one platform to another without worrying about font substitution and other problems that cause text to reflow. They may include a number of features, such as swashes and discretionary ligatures, that aren’t available in current PostScript and TrueType fonts. OpenType fonts display the icon. When working with an OpenType font, you can automatically substitute alternate glyphs, such as ligatures, small capitals, fractions, and old style proportional figures, in your text.

Swashes Last updated 5/15/2011 185 USING INCOPY Typography OpenType fonts may include an expanded character set and layout features to provide richer linguistic support and advanced typographic control. OpenType fonts from Adobe that include support for central European (CE) languages include the word “Pro,” as part of the font name in application font menus. OpenType fonts that don’t contain central European language support are labeled “Standard,” and have an “Std” suffix. All OpenType fonts can also be installed and used alongside PostScript Type 1 and TrueType fonts. For more information on OpenType fonts, see www.adobe.com/go/opentype. Installing OpenType fonts InCopy includes fonts from various OpenType families, including Adobe Garamond Pro, Adobe Caslon Pro, Trajan Pro, Caflisch Script Pro, Myriad Pro, Lithos, and Adobe Jenson Pro. OpenType fonts are installed automatically when you install InCopy or Adobe Creative Suite 4.

Use the OpenType Features section of the Style Options dialog box. OpenType font attributes When you use an OpenType font, you can select specific OpenType features from the Control panel or Character panel menu when formatting text or when defining styles. Note: OpenType fonts vary greatly in the number of type styles and kinds of features they offer. If an OpenType feature is unavailable, it’s surrounded in square brackets (such as [Swash]) in the Control panel menu. Discretionary Ligatures Font designers may include optional ligatures that shouldn’t be turned on in all circumstances. Selecting this option allows these additional optional ligatures to be used, if they are present. For more information on ligatures, see “Apply ligatures to letter pairs” on page 193. Last updated 5/15/2011 186 USING INCOPY Typography Fractions Numbers separated by a slash (such as 1/2) are converted to a fraction character, when fractions are available. Ordinal Ordinal numbers such as 1st and 2nd are formatted with superscript letters (1st and 2nd) when ordinals are available. Letters such as the superscript a and o in the Spanish words segunda (2a) and segundo (2o) are also typeset properly. Swash When available, regular and contextual swashes, which may include alternate caps and end-of-word alternatives, are provided. Titling Alternatives When available, characters used for uppercase titles are activated. In some fonts, selecting this option for text formatted in both uppercase and lowercase letters can yield undesired effects. Contextual Alternatives When available, contextual ligatures and connecting alternates are activated. Alternate characters are included in some script typefaces to provide better joining behavior. For example, the letter pair “bl” in the word “bloom” can be joined so that it looks more like handwriting. This option is selected by default. All Small Caps For fonts that include real small caps, selecting this option turns characters into small caps. For more information, see “Change the case of type” on page 195. Slashed Zero Selecting this options displays the number 0 with a diagonal slash through it. In some fonts (especially condensed fonts), it can be difficult to distinguish between the number 0 and the capital letter O. Stylistic Sets Some OpenType fonts include alternate glyph sets designed for esthetic effect. A stylistic set is a group of glyph alternates that can be applied one character at a time or to a range of text. If you select a different stylistic set, the glyphs defined in the set are used instead of the font’s default glyphs. If a glyph character in a stylistic set is used in conjunction with another OpenType setting, the glyph from the individual setting overrides the character set glyph. You can see the glyphs for each set using the Glyphs panel. Positional Forms In some cursive scripts and in languages such as Arabic, what a character looks like can depend on its position inside a word. The character may change form when it appears at the start (initial position), middle (medial position), or end (final position) of a word, and it may change form as well when it appears alone (isolated position). Select a character and choose a Positional Forms option to format it correctly. The General Form option inserts the common character; the Automatic Form option inserts a form of the character according to where the character is located in the word and whether the character appears in isolation. Superscript/Superior & Subscript/Inferior Some OpenType fonts include raised or lowered glyphs that are sized correctly relative to the surrounding characters. If an OpenType font doesn’t include these glyphs for non-standard fractions, consider using the Numerator and Denominator attributes. Numerator & Denominator Some OpenType fonts convert only basic fractions (such as 1/2 or 1/4) to fraction glyphs, not non-standard fractions (such as 4/13 or 99/100). Apply Numerator and Denominator attributes to these nonstandard fractions in such cases. Tabular Lining Same widths are provided for full-height figures. This option is appropriate in situations where numbers need to line up from one line to the next, as in tables. Proportional Oldstyle Varying-height figures with varying widths are provided. This option is recommended for a classic, sophisticated look in text that doesn’t use all caps. Proportional Lining Full-height figures with varying widths are provided. This option is recommended for text that uses all caps. Tabular Oldstyle Varying-height figures with fixed, equal widths are provided. This option is recommended when you want the classic appearance of old-style figures, but you need them to align in columns, as in an annual report. Default Figure Style Figure glyphs use the default figure style of the current font.

Multiple master fonts Multiplemaster fonts are customizable Type 1 fonts whose typeface characteristics are described in terms of variable design axes, such as weight, width, style, and optical size. Some multiple master fonts include an optical size axis, which lets you use a font specifically designed for optimal readability at a particular size. Generally, the optical size for a smaller font, such as 10 point, is designed with heavier serifs and stems, wider characters, less contrast between thick and thin lines, taller x height, and looser spacing between letters than the optical size for a larger font, such as 72 point. 1 Choose Edit > Preferences > Type (Windows) or InCopy > Preferences > Type (Mac OS). 2 Select Automatically Use Correct Optical Size, and click OK. Leading About leading The vertical space between lines of type is called leading. Leading is measured from the baseline of one line of text to the baseline of the line above it. Baseline is the invisible line on which most letters—that is, those without descenders— sit. The default auto-leading option sets the leading at 120% of the type size (for example, 12-point leading for 10-point type). When auto-leading is in use, InCopy displays the leading value in parentheses in the Leading menu of the Character panel.

Leading A. Leading B. Text height C. Larger text size of one word increases leading for that one line. Change leading By default, leading is a character attribute, which means that you can apply more than one leading value within the same paragraph. The largest leading value in a line of type determines the leading for that line. However, you can select a preferences option so that leading applies to the entire paragraph, instead of to text within a paragraph. This setting does not affect the leading in existing frames.

Kerning and tracking About kerning and tracking Kerning is the process of adding or subtracting space between specific pairs of characters. Tracking is the process of loosening or tightening a block of text. Types of kerning You can automatically kern type using metrics kerning or optical kerning. Metrics kerning uses kern pairs, which are included with most fonts. Kern pairs contain information about the spacing of specific pairs of letters. Some of these are: LA, P., To, Tr, Ta, Tu, Te, Ty, Wa, WA, We, Wo, Ya, and Yo. InCopy uses metrics kerning by default so that specific pairs are automatically kerned when you import or type text. To disable metrics kerning, select "0". Optical kerning adjusts the spacing between adjacent characters based on their shapes. Some fonts include robust kern-pair specifications. However, when a font includes only minimal built-in kerning or none at all, or if you use two different typefaces or sizes in one or more words on a line, you may want to use the optical kerning option. Last updated 5/15/2011 190 USING INCOPY Typography Before applying the optical kerning option to the “W” and “a” pair (top), and after (bottom) You can also use manual kerning, which is ideal for adjusting the space between two letters. Tracking and manual kerning are cumulative, so you can first adjust individual pairs of letters, and then tighten or loosen a block of text without affecting the relative kerning of the letter pairs. Word kerning isn’t the same as the Word Spacing option in the Justification dialog box; word kerning changes the kerning value only between a specific word’s first character and the word space preceding that character. A B C Kerning and tracking A. Original B. Kerning applied between “W” and “a” C. Tracking applied How kerning and tracking are measured You can apply kerning, tracking, or both to selected text. Tracking and kerning are both measured in 1/1000 em, a unit of measure that is relative to the current type size. In a 6-point font, 1 em equals 6 points; in a 10-point font, 1 em equals 10 points. Kerning and tracking are strictly proportional to the current type size. Tracking and manual kerning are cumulative, so you can first adjust individual pairs of letters, and then tighten or loosen a block of text without affecting the relative kerning of the letter pairs. When you click to place the insertion point between two letters, InCopy displays kerning values in the Character panel and the Control panel. Metrics and optical kerning values (or defined kern pairs) appear in parentheses. Similarly, if you select a word or a range of text, InCopy displays the tracking values in the Character panel and Control panel.

Note: The Sentence Case command assumes that the period (.), exclamation point (!), and question mark (?) characters mark the ends of sentences. Applying Sentence Case may cause unexpected case changes when these characters are used in other ways, as in abbreviations, file names, or Internet URLs. In addition, proper names may become lowercase when they should be uppercase. Scale type You can specify the proportion between the height and width of the type, relative to the original width and height of the characters. Unscaled characters have a value of 100%. Some type families include a true expanded font, which is designed with a larger horizontal spread than the plain type style. Scaling distorts the type, so it is generally preferable to use a font that is designed as condensed or expanded, if one is available.

Ways to control paragraph breaks You can eliminate orphans and widows, words or single lines of text that become separated from the other lines in a paragraph. Orphans fall at the bottom of a column or page, and widows fall at the top of a column or page. Another typographic problem to avoid is a heading that stands alone on a page with the following paragraph on the next page. You have several options for fixing widows, orphans, short exit lines, and other paragraph break problems: Discretionary hyphens A discretionary hyphen (Type > Insert Special Character > Hyphens And Dashes > Discretionary Hyphen) appears only if the word breaks. This option prevents the common typographic problem of hyphenated words, such as “care-giver,” appearing in the middle of a line after text reflows. Similarly, you can also add a discretionary line break character. No Break Choose No Break from the Character panel menu to prevent selected text from breaking across a line. Nonbreaking spaces Insert a nonbreaking space (Type > Insert White Space > [nonbreaking space]) between words you want to keep together. Keep Options Choose Keep Options from the Paragraph panel menu to specify how many lines in the following paragraph remain with the current paragraph. Start Paragraph Use Start Paragraph in the Keep Options dialog box to force a paragraph (usually a title or heading) to appear at the top of a page, column, or section. This option works especially well as part of a heading paragraph style. Hyphenation Settings Choose Hyphenation from the Paragraph panel menu to change hyphenation settings.

If a paragraph isn’t composed the way you’d like, choose Adobe Single-line Composer from the Paragraph panel menu or Control panel menu and adjust selected lines individually. See “Compose text” on page 221. Control paragraph breaks using Keep Options You can specify how many lines of the following paragraph remain with the current paragraph as it moves between frames—a convenient way to ensure that headings don’t become isolated from the body text they introduce. InDesign can highlight the paragraphs that sometimes break in violation of your settings. You may not want to use Keep Options if your document does not require your columns to share the same last baseline. To highlight paragraphs that violate Keep Options, choose Edit > Preferences > Composition (Windows) or InCopy > Preferences > Composition (Mac OS), select Keep Violations, and click OK. 1 Select the paragraph or paragraphs you want to affect. 2 Choose Keep Options in the Paragraph panel menu or Control panel menu. (You can also change keep options when creating or editing a paragraph style.) 3 Select any of these options and then click OK: • Select Keep With Previous to keep the first line of the current paragraph with the last line of the previous paragraph. • For Keep With Next _ Lines, specify the number of lines (up to five) of the subsequent paragraph that the last line of the current paragraph stays with. This option is especially useful for making sure that a heading stays with the next few lines of the paragraph that follows it. • Select the Keep Lines Together option and select All Lines In Paragraph to prevent the paragraph from breaking. • Select the Keep Lines Together option, select At Start/End Of Paragraph, and specify the number of lines that must appear at the beginning or ending of the paragraph to prevent orphans and widows. • For Start Paragraph, choose an option to force InDesign to push the paragraph to the next column, frame, or page.

More Help topics “Change Justification settings” on page 224 Align paragraphs to a baseline grid The baseline grid represents the leading for body text in a document. You can use multiples of this leading value for all elements of the page to ensure that text always lines up between columns and from page to page. For example, if the body text in your document has 12-point leading, you could give your heading text 18-point leading and add 6 points of space before the paragraphs that follow the headings. Using a baseline grid ensures consistency in the location of text elements on a page. You can adjust the leading for the paragraph to ensure that its baselines align to the page’s underlying grid. This is useful if you want the baselines of text in multiple columns or adjacent text frames to align. Change settings for the baseline grid by using the Grids section of the Preferences dialog box. You can also align only the first line of a paragraph to the baseline grid, allowing the rest of the lines to follow the specified leading values. To view the baseline grid, choose View > Grids & Guides > Show Baseline Grid.

Italicized first word of step 3 causes numbering to be italicized as well, unless you create character style for numbers and apply it to list. Change bullet characters If you don’t want to use one of the existing bullet characters, you can add other bullet characters to the Bullet Character grid. A bullet character that is available in one font may not be available in another font. You can choose whether the font is remembered with any bullet character you add. If you want to use a bullet found in a specific font (such as the pointing hand from Dingbats), be sure to set the bullet to remember that font. If you use a basic bullet character, it’s probably best not to remember the font, because most fonts have their own version of that bullet character. Depending on whether you select the Remember Font With Bullet option, a bullet you add can reference either a Unicode value and a specific font family and style, or just a Unicode value.

Last updated 5/15/2011 216 USING INCOPY Typography Defining lists A defined list can be interrupted by other paragraphs and lists, and can span different stories and different documents in a book. For example, use defined lists to create a multi-level outline, or to create a running list of numbered table names throughout your document. You can also define lists for separately numbered or bulleted items that are mixed together. For example, in a list of questions and answers, define one list for numbering the questions and another for numbering the answers. Defined lists are often used to track paragraphs for numbering purposes. When you create a paragraph style for numbering, you can assign the style to a defined list, and paragraphs are numbered in that style according to where they appear in the defined list. The first paragraph to appear is given number 1 (“Table 1”), for example, and the next paragraph is given number 2 (“Table 2”), even if it appears several pages later. Because both paragraphs belong to the same defined list, they can be numbered consecutively no matter how far apart they are in the document or book. Define a new list for each type of item you want to number—step-by-step instructions, tables, and figures, for example. By defining multiple lists, you can interrupt one list with another and maintain number sequences in each list. If list items appear in unthreaded frames on the same page, items are numbered in the order in which the text frames are added to the page. To reorder the items, cut and paste the text frames one by one in the order in which you want them to be listed. Defined lists let you interrupt one list with another.

Indenting helps subordinate items in lists stand out. 12 Click OK. In some cases, such as with numbered steps, you may want to restart numbering within the same story. To avoid restarting the numbered list manually, create a separate style that’s identical to the Level 1 style with one exception. For Mode, chose Start At, and then specify 1. Name this style something like “Level 1 Restart.” Create running captions for figures and tables Running captions number figures, tables, and other items consecutively in a document. For example, the first figure caption starts with the words “Figure 1,” the second with “Figure 2,” and so on. To make sure that figures, tables, or similar items are numbered consecutively, define a list for the item, and then create a paragraph style that includes the list definition. You can also add descriptive words such as “Figure” or “Table” to the numbering scheme of the paragraph style.

For example, select the A, B, C, D... option to create a list for “Figure A,” “Figure B,” and so on. 4 In the Number box, enter a descriptive word and any spacing or punctuation (as needed) along with the numbering metacharacters. For example, to create a “Figure A” effect, enter the word “Figure” and a space before the numbering metacharacters (such as Figure ^#.^t). This adds the word “Figure” followed by a sequential number (^#), a period, and a tab (^t).

Using the word spacing, letterspacing, glyph scaling, and hyphenation options you’ve selected, InCopy composes your type in a way that best supports the specified parameters. InCopy offers two composition methods: Adobe Paragraph Composer (the default) and Adobe Single-line Composer (both are available from the Control panel menu). You can select which composer to use from the Paragraph panel menu, the Justification dialog box, or the Control panel menu. For a video tutorial on working with text, see www.adobe.com/go/vid0075. InDesign Magazine provides an article about fixing composition problems at Mind the Gaps. More Help topics Working with Text video “Change Justification settings” on page 224 Composition methods InCopy offers two composition methods: Adobe Paragraph Composer (the default) and Adobe Single-line Composer. Both composition methods evaluate possible breaks, and choose those that best support the hyphenation and justification options you’ve specified for a given paragraph. The Adobe Paragraph Composer Considers a network of breakpoints for an entire paragraph, and thus can optimize earlier lines in the paragraph in order to eliminate especially unattractive breaks later on. Paragraph composition results in more even spacing with fewer hyphens. The Paragraph Composer approaches composition by identifying possible breakpoints, evaluating them, and assigning a weighted penalty to them based on such principles as evenness of letterspacing, word spacing, and hyphenation. You can use the Hyphenation dialog box to determine the relationship between better spacing and fewer hyphens. (See “Hyphenate text” on page 222.) The Adobe Single-line Composer Offers a traditional approach to composing text one line at a time. This option is useful if you want to restrict composition changes from late-stage edits.

You can also justify single words in narrow columns of fully justified text. Eda Warren provides an article about avoiding composition problems at Mind the Gaps. More Help topics “Adjust word and letterspacing in justified text” on page 224 “Hyphenation and spelling dictionaries” on page 156 Adjust hyphenation manually You can hyphenate words manually or automatically, or you can use a combination of the two methods. The safest way to hyphenate manually is to insert a discretionary hyphen, which is not visible unless the word needs to be broken at the end of a line. Placing a discretionary hyphen at the beginning of a word prevents it from being broken. 1 Using the Type tool , click where you want to insert the hyphen. 2 Do one of the following: • Choose Type > Insert Special Character > Hyphens And Dashes > Discretionary Hyphen. • Press Ctrl+Shift+- (Windows) or Command+Shift+- (Mac OS) to insert a discretionary hyphen. Note: Entering a discretionary hyphen in a word does not guarantee that the word will be hyphenated. Whether or not the word breaks depends on other hyphenation and composition settings. However, entering a discretionary hyphen in a word does guarantee that the word can be broken only where the discretionary hyphen appears.

After First _ Letters / Before Last _ Letters Specify the minimum number of characters at the beginning or end of a word that can be broken by a hyphen. For example, by specifying 3 for these values, aromatic would be hyphenated as aro- matic instead of ar- omatic or aromat- ic. Hyphen Limit _ Hyphens Specify the maximum number of hyphens that can appear on consecutive lines. Zero means unlimited hyphens. Hyphenation Zone Specify the amount of white space allowed at the end of a line of unjustified text before hyphenation begins. This option applies only when you’re using the Single-line Composer with nonjustified text. Better Spacing / Fewer Hyphens To alter the balance between these settings, adjust the slider at the bottom of the dialog box.

Hyphenate Last Word To prevent last words in paragraphs from being hyphenated, deselect this option. Hyphenate Across Column To prevent words from being hyphenated across a column, frame, or page, deselect this option. Prevent unwanted word breaks By using nonbreaking hyphens, you can prevent certain words from breaking at all—for example, proper names or words which, when broken, become unattractive fragments. By using nonbreaking spaces, you can also keep multiple words from breaking—for example, clusters of initials and a last name (P. T. Barnum). Prevent text from breaking 1 Select the text you want to keep on the same line. 2 Choose No Break from the Character panel menu or the Control panel menu.

Word Spacing values can range from 0% to 1000%; at 100%, no additional space is added between words. Letter Spacing The distance between letters, including kerning or tracking values. Letter Spacing values can range from -100% to 500%: at 0%, no space is added between letters; at 100%, an entire space width is added between letters. Glyph Scaling The width of characters (a glyph is any font character). Glyph Scaling values can range from 50% to 200%. Spacing options are always applied to an entire paragraph. To adjust the spacing in a few characters, but not an entire paragraph, use the Tracking option. 4 Set the Single Word Justification option to specify how you want to justify single-word paragraphs. In narrow columns, a single word can occasionally appear by itself on a line. If the paragraph is set to full justification, a single word on a line may appear to be too stretched out. Instead of leaving such words fully justified, you can center them or align them to the left or right margins.

Unless you’re striving for a special effect, it’s best to keep glyph scaling to subtle values, such as 97–100–103. Use a flush space with justified text Using a flush space character adds a variable amount of space to the last line of a fully justified paragraph—between the last word and an end-of-story character from a decorative font. Used with nonjustified text, the flush space appears as a normal word space. In justified text, it expands to absorb all available extra space on the last line.

Create tables in Adobe InDesign CS5 or export them from other applications. Note: To create, edit, and format tables in Adobe InCopy, make sure you are in Layout view. Create tables A table consists of rows and columns of cells. A cell is like a text frame in which you can add text, inline graphics, or other tables. You can create tables from scratch or by converting them from existing text. You can also embed a table within a table. When you create a table, the new table fills the width of the container text frame. A table is inserted on the same line when the insertion point is at the beginning of the line, or on the next line, when the insertion point is in the middle of a line. Tables flow with surrounding text just as inline graphics do. For example, a table moves through threaded frames when the text above it changes in point size or when text is added or deleted. However, a table cannot appear on a text-onpath frame. For a video tutorial on creating and formatting tables, see www.adobe.com/go/vid0081.

The row height of a table is determined by the specified table style. For example, a table style may use cell styles to format different parts of the table. If any of these cell styles include paragraph styles, the leading value of the paragraph styles determines the row height of that area. If no paragraph style is used, the document’s default slug determines the row height. (The slug is based on the leading value. In this context, a slug is the approximate height of the highlighting in selected text.)

Embed a table within a table 1 Do one of the following: • Select the cells or table you want to embed, and then choose Edit > Cut or Copy. Place the insertion point in the cell where you want the table to appear, and then choose Edit > Paste. • Click inside a cell, choose Table > Insert Table, specify the number of rows and columns, and then click OK. 2 Adjust the cell inset as necessary. (See “Format text within a table” on page 237.) If you create a table within a cell, you cannot use the mouse to select any part of the table that oversets the cell boundary. Instead, expand the row or column; or place the insertion point in the first part of the table, and use keyboard shortcuts to move the insertion point and select text. Importing tables from other applications When you use the Place command to import a Microsoft Word document that includes tables, or a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet, imported data is an editable table. You can use the Import Options dialog box to control the formatting. You can also paste data from an Excel spreadsheet or a Word table into an InDesign or InCopy document. The Clipboard Handling preference settings determine how text pasted from another application is formatted. If Text Only is selected, the information appears as unformatted tabbed text, which you can then convert to a table. If All Information is selected, the pasted text appears in a formatted table. If you’re pasting text from another application into an existing table, insert enough rows and columns to accommodate the pasted text, select the Text Only option in Clipboard Handling preferences, and make sure that at least one cell is selected (unless you want to embed the pasted table into a cell). If you want more control over formatting the imported table, or if you want to maintain spreadsheet formatting, use the Place command to import the table. If you want to maintain a link to the spreadsheet, select the Create Links When Placing Text And Spreadsheet Files option in File Handling preference settings. Last updated 5/15/2011 228 USING INCOPY Tables You can also copy and paste tabbed text across a selection of table cells. This technique is a great way to replace content while preserving formatting. For example, suppose you want to update the content of a formatting table in a monthly magazine. One possibility is to link to an Excel spreadsheet. However, if your content comes from a different source, you can copy the tabbed text containing the new content, select the range of cells in the formatted InDesign table, and paste. More Help topics “Place (import) text” on page 87 Add text to a table You can add text, anchored objects, XML tags, and other tables to table cells.

To add a graphic to a table in a linked InDesign document, use InDesign so that you have more control over resizing the text frame. For a video tutorial on placing images into a table, see www.adobe.com/go/vid0083. ❖ Do any of the following: • Position the insertion point where you want the graphic, choose File > Place, and then double-click the graphic’s filename. • Copy a graphic or a frame, position the insertion point, and then choose Edit > Paste. When you add a graphic that is larger than the cell, the cell height expands to accommodate the graphic, but the width of the cell doesn’t change—the graphic may extend beyond the right side of the cell. If the row in which the graphic is placed is set to a fixed height, a graphic that is taller than the row height causes the cell to be overset. To avoid an overset cell, you may want to place the image outside the table, resize the image, and then paste it into the table cell. Add table headers and footers When you create a long table, the table may span more than one column, frame, or page. You can use headers or footers to repeat the information at the top or bottom of each divided portion of the table. You can add header and footer rows when you create the table. You can also use the Table Options dialog box to add header and footer rows and change how they appear in the table. You can convert body rows to header or footer rows.

Select Skip Last if you don’t want the footer information to appear in the last row of the table. The Skip First option is especially useful if you want to indicate that the header or footer is continued. For example, for a table that spans multiple pages, you may want the header text to be “Table 2 (Continued).” Since you don't want “(Continued)” to appear at the beginning of the table, select Skip First, and simply type Table 2 in the first row of the table. 5 Click OK.

Table stroke and fill options When selecting strokes and fills for the table or cells, use the following options: Weight Specifies the line thickness for the table or cell border. Type Specifies the line style, such as Thick - Thin. Color Specifies the color of the table or cell border. The choices listed are those available in the Swatches panel. Tint Specifies the percentage of ink of the specified color to be applied to the stroke or fill. Gap Color Applies a color to the areas between the dashes, dots, or lines. This option is not available if Solid is selected for Type. Gap Tint Applies tint to the areas between the dashes, dots, or lines. This option is not available if Solid is selected for Type. Overprint When selected, causes the ink specified in the Color drop-down list to be applied over any underlying colors, rather than knocking out those inks. Alternate strokes and fills in a table You can alternate strokes and fills to enhance readability or improve the appearance of your table. Alternating strokes and fills in table rows does not affect header and footer rows. However, alternating strokes and fills in columns does affect header and footer rows. Alternating stroke and fill settings override cell stroke formatting, unless you select the Preserve Local Formatting option in the Table Options dialog box. If you want to apply a fill or stroke to every body cell in the table, and not just alternating patterns, you can still use the alternating stroke and fill settings to create such non-alternating patterns. To create such an effect, specify 0 for Next in the second pattern. Before (left) and after (right) alternating fills in a table Add alternating strokes to a table 1 With the insertion point in a cell, choose Table > Table Options > Alternating Row Strokes or Alternating Column Strokes. Last updated 5/15/2011 243 USING INCOPY Tables 2 For Alternating Pattern, select the type of pattern you want to use. Select Custom if you want to specify a pattern; for example, one column with a thick black line followed by three columns with thin yellow lines. 3 Under Alternating, specify the fill options for both the first pattern and the next pattern. For example, you may want to add a solid stroke to the first column and a Thick - Thin line to the next column, so that they alternate. Specify 0 for Next if you want the strokes to affect every row or column. Note: In tables that span multiple frames, alternating strokes and fills for rows do not restart at the beginning of additional frames in the story. (See “Break tables across frames” on page 237.) 4 Select Preserve Local Formatting if you want formatted strokes previously applied to the table to remain in effect. 5 For Skip First and Skip Last, specify the number of rows or columns at the beginning and end of the table in which you do not want stroke attributes to appear, and then click OK. Add alternating fills to a table 1 With the insertion point in a cell, choose Table > Table Options > Alternating Fills. 2 For Alternating Pattern, select the type of pattern you want to use. Select Custom if you want to specify a pattern, such as one row shaded in gray followed by three rows shaded in yellow. 3 Under Alternating, specify the fill options for both the first pattern and the subsequent pattern. For example, if you selected Every Second Column for Alternating Pattern, you may want to shade the first two columns in a gray tint and leave the next two columns blank.

Table and cell styles About table and cell styles Just as you use text styles to format text, you can use table and cell styles to format tables. A table style is a collection of table formatting attributes, such as table borders and row and column strokes, that can be applied in a single step. A cell style includes formatting such as cell insets, paragraph styles, and strokes and fills. When you edit a style, all tables or cells to which the style is applied are updated automatically. Note: There is one important difference between text styles and table styles. While all character styles attributes can be part of a paragraph style, cell style attributes are not part of the table style. For example, you cannot use a table style to change the border color of interior cells. Instead, create a cell style and include it in the table style. [Basic Table] and [None] styles By default, each new document contains a [Basic Table] style that can be applied to tables you create and a [None] style that can be used to remove cell styles applied to cells. You can edit the [Basic Table] style, but you can’t rename or delete either [Basic Table] or [None]. Last updated 5/15/2011 244 USING INCOPY Tables Using cell styles in table styles When you create a table style, you can specify which cell styles are applied to different regions of the table: header and footer rows, left and right columns, and body rows. For example, for the header row, you can assign a cell style that applies a paragraph style, and for the left and right columns, you can assign different cell styles that apply shaded backgrounds. A B C D Cell styles applied to regions in table style A. Header row formatted with cell style that includes paragraph style B. Left column C. Body cells D. Right column Cell style attributes Cell styles do not necessarily include all the formatting attributes of a selected cell. When you create a cell style, you can determine which attributes are included. That way, applying the cell style changes only the desired attributes, such as cell fill color, and ignores all other cell attributes. Formatting precedence in styles If a conflict occurs in formatting applied to a table cell, the following order of precedence determines which formatting is used: Cell style precedence 1. Header/Footer 2. Left column/Right column 3. Body rows. For example, if a cell appears in both the header and the left column, the formatting from the header cell style is used. Table style precedence 1. Cell overrides 2. Cell style 3. Cell styles applied from a table style 4. Table overrides 5. Table styles. For example, if you apply one fill using the Cell Options dialog box and another fill using the cell style, the fill from the Cell Options dialog box is used. For a video tutorial on using table styles, see www.adobe.com/go/vid0084. Table/Cell Styles panels overview Use the Table Styles panel (Window > Styles >Table Styles) to create and name table styles, and to apply the styles to existing tables or tables you create or import. Use the Cell Styles panel (Window > Styles > Cell Styles) to create and name cell styles, and to apply the styles to table cells. Styles are saved with a document and appear in the panel each time you open that document. You can save table and cell styles in groups for easier management. When you position the insertion point in a cell or table, any style that is applied is highlighted in either of the panels. The name of any cell style that is applied through a table style appears in the lower left corner of the Cell Styles area. If you select a range of cells that contains multiple styles, no style is highlighted and the Cell Styles panel displays “(Mixed).” Open the Table Styles or Cell Styles panel ❖ Choose Window > Styles, and choose Table Styles or Cell Styles.

Define table and cell styles If you work with a standalone story, you can define, modify, and apply table and cell styles in InCopy. If the styles you want exist in another InCopy document, you can import those styles into the current document. You cannot import table or cell styles from an InDesign document. For a video tutorial on using table styles, see www.adobe.com/go/vid0084. 1 If you want to base a new style on the formatting of an existing table or cell, place the insertion point in a cell. 2 If desired, define a paragraph style for the cell style. 3 Choose Window > Styles >Table Styles to open the Table Style panel, or choose Window > Styles > Cell Styles to open the Cell Styles panel. 4 Choose New Table Style from the Table Styles panel menu, or choose New Cell Style from the Cell Styles panel menu. 5 For Style Name, type a name. 6 For Based On, select which style the current style is based on. 7 To define a style shortcut, position the insertion point in the Shortcut text box and make sure that Num Lock is on. Then hold down any combination of Shift, Alt, or Ctrl (Windows) or Shift, Option, and Command (Mac OS), and press a number on the numeric keypad. You cannot use letters or non-keypad numbers for defining style shortcuts. 8 To specify the formatting attributes, click a category on the left and specify the attributes you want. For example, to assign a paragraph style to a cell style, click the General category, and then choose the paragraph style from the Paragraph Style menu. For cell styles, options that don’t have a setting specified are ignored in the style. If you don’t want a setting to be part of the style, choose (Ignore) from the setting’s menu, delete the contents of the field, or click a check box until a small box appears in Windows or a hyphen (-) appears in Mac OS. 9 If you want the new style to appear in a style group you’ve created, drag it to the style group folder.

The definitions of the incoming and existing styles appear at the bottom of the Load Styles dialog box so you can compare them. Auto-Rename Renames the loaded style. For example, if both documents have a style named “Table Style 1,” the loaded style is renamed “Table Style 1 copy” in the current document. Apply table and cell styles Unlike paragraph and character styles, table and cell styles do not share attributes, so applying a table style does not override cell formatting, and applying a cell style does not override table formatting. By default, applying a cell style removes formatting applied by any previous cell style, but does not remove local cell formatting. Similarly, applying a table style removes formatting applied by any previous table style, but does not remove overrides made using the Table Options dialog box. In the Styles panel, a plus sign (+) appears next to the current cell or table style if the selected cell or table has additional formatting that isn’t part of the applied style. Such additional formatting is called an override. 1 Position the insertion point in a table, or select the cells to which you want to apply the style. 2 Do one of the following: • Click the table or cell style in the Table Styles or Cell Styles panel (chose Window > Styles >Table Styles or Cell Styles). If the style is in a style group, expand the style group to locate the style. • Press the shortcut you defined for the style. (Make sure that Num Lock is on.) More Help topics “Use Quick Apply” on page 182 Base one table or cell style on another You can create links between similar table or cell styles by creating a base, or parent, style.

Last updated 5/15/2011 249 Chapter 9: Printing Setting up a printer Typically, the final printing process is done in Adobe® InDesign®, but you can use Adobe InCopy® to print drafts of your stories in Galley, Story, or Layout view. Printing with InCopy InCopy typically links with an InDesign master document. The InDesign document is usually the ultimate source for the final printing process, so many of the controls needed for production-quality printing are reserved for InDesign. However, you can use InCopy to print drafts of your stories in either Galley, Story, or Layout view. The printed copy looks similar to the document on the screen, depending on the view and print settings: • In the Galley or Story view, InCopy prints unformatted text in a continuous column (or columns). You do not see the document layout and formatting features. • In the Layout view, InCopy prints the document as it appears on the screen, with frames and all other page elements intact. InCopy works with both Adobe PostScript® and non-PostScript printers, as well as other kinds of printing devices. If you are using a PostScript printer, make sure that you have the printer driver with the correct, properly installed PostScript Printer Description (PPD) file. Important: InCopy does not support the format used by PDF Writer. If you attempt to print to PDF Writer, you will experience delays or errors in printing. More Help topics “Exporting to Adobe PDF” on page 254 About printer drivers A printer driver lets you directly access printer features from applications on your computer. Having the correct driver ensures that you have access to all of the features a particular printer supports. Adobe recommends using the latest printer drivers, which are listed in the following table. If you encounter problems with an older driver, upgrade to the latest driver for your operating system. Operating system Printer driver Windows® XP Pscript 5 (system driver) Mac OS 10.2 (or later) Built-in PS Driver for Mac OS X For more information on recommended and supported PostScript printer drivers, including installation instructions, search the section on printer drivers on the Adobe website. Some InCopy printing features appear in both the Print dialog box of InCopy and the printer driver dialog boxes. In general, you should set options for such overlapping features only in the InCopy Print dialog box; InCopy ignores duplicate settings specified in the printer driver dialog box. The instructions in this section can help you work with the overlapping options. Last updated 5/15/2011 250 USING INCOPY Printing Printer drivers may support features that are not included in InCopy, such as duplex printing. Support for these features varies depending on the printer driver you have. Check with your printer manufacturer for details. If you want to specify settings for a specific printer, InCopy provides access to the printer driver through the Setup button in the InCopy Print dialog box. In Windows, this button opens the Properties dialog box for the currently selected printer. In Mac OS, this button displays the standard Mac OS Print dialog box. Select a PPD file A PPD file (PostScript Printer Description file) customizes the behavior of the driver for your specific PostScript printer. It contains information about the output device, including printer-resident fonts, available media sizes and orientation, optimized screen frequencies, screen angles, resolution, and color output capabilities. It’s important to set up the correct PPD before you print. Selecting the PPD that corresponds to your PostScript printer or imagesetter populates the Print dialog box with the available settings for the output device. You can switch to a different one to suit your needs. Applications use the information in the PPD file to determine which PostScript information to send to the printer when printing a document. For best printing results, Adobe recommends that you obtain the latest version of the PPD file for your output device from the manufacturer. Many print service providers and commercial printers have PPDs for the imagesetters they use. Be sure to store PPDs in the location specified by the operating system. For details, consult the documentation for your operating system. ❖ In Windows and in Mac OS, you select a PPD file in the same way you add a printer. The steps for selecting a PPD file are different for each platform. See your operating system documentation for details.

Last updated 5/15/2011 253 Chapter 10: PDF Understanding Adobe PDF About Adobe PDF Portable Document Format (PDF) is a universal file format that preserves the fonts, images, and layout of source documents created on a wide range of applications and platforms. Adobe PDF is the standard for the secure, reliable distribution and exchange of electronic documents and forms around the world. Adobe PDF files are compact and complete, and can be shared, viewed, and printed by anyone with free Adobe Reader® software. Adobe PDF is highly effective in print publishing workflows. By saving a composite of your artwork in Adobe PDF, you create a compact, reliable file that you or your service provider can view, edit, organize, and proof. Then, at the appropriate time in the workflow, your service provider can either output the Adobe PDF file directly, or process it using tools from various sources for such post-processing tasks as preflight checks, trapping, imposition, and color separation. When you save in Adobe PDF, you can choose to create a PDF/X-compliant file. PDF/X (Portable Document Format Exchange) is a subset of Adobe PDF that eliminates many of the color, font, and trapping variables that lead to printing problems. PDF/X may be used wherever PDFs are exchanged as digital masters for print production—whether at the creation or output stage of the workflow, as long as the applications and output devices support PDF/X. Adobe PDFs can solve the following problems associated with electronic documents: Common problem Adobe PDF solution Recipients can't open files because they don't have the applications used to create the files. Anyone, anywhere can open a PDF. All you need is the free Adobe Reader software. Combined paper and electronic archives are difficult to search, take up PDFs are compact and fully searchable, and can be accessed at any space, and require the application in which a document was created. time using Reader. Links make PDFs easy to navigate. Documents appear incorrectly on handheld devices. Tagged PDFs allow text to reflow for display on mobile platforms such as Palm OS®, Symbian™, and Pocket PC® devices. Documents with complex formatting are not accessible to visually impaired readers. Tagged PDFs contain information on content and structure, which makes them accessible on-screen readers. Embedding and substituting fonts InCopy embeds a font only if it contains a setting by the font vendor that permits it to be embedded. Embedding prevents font substitution when a reader views or prints the file, and ensures that readers see the text in its original font. Embedding increases the file size only slightly, unless the document uses CID (multibyte) fonts, a font format commonly used for Asian languages, where multiple characters are combined to create a single glyph. For each font embedded, InCopy can embed the entire font or just a subset—the particular characters, called glyphs, used in the file. Subsetting ensures that your fonts and font metrics are used at print time by creating a custom font name. The subsetting options you choose affect disk space and your ability to do late-stage editing. If InCopy cannot embed a font, it temporarily substitutes the font with a Multiple Master typeface: either AdobeSerMM for a missing serif font, or AdobeSanMM for a missing sans serif font. Last updated 5/15/2011 254 USING INCOPY PDF These typefaces can stretch or condense to fit, to ensure that line and page breaks are maintained from the original document. The substitution cannot always match the shape of the original characters, however, especially if the characters are unconventional ones, such as script typefaces. If characters are unconventional (left), the substitution font cannot always match (right). More Help topics “Exporting to Adobe PDF” on page 254 About compression When exporting to Adobe PDF, InCopy automatically downsamples images, crops image data to the image’s frame, and compresses text and line art using the lossless ZIP method. ZIP works well on images with large areas of single colors or repeating patterns, and for black-and-white images that contain repeating patterns. Because InCopy uses the lossless ZIP method, data is not removed to reduce file size, so image quality is not affected. Exporting to Adobe PDF Export an InCopy document to Adobe PDF You can export InCopy documents directly to Adobe PDF. You can export in the Galley, Story, or Layout view. If you export in Layout view, the result is a PDF document with layout and design elements intact. In contrast, a document exported in Galley or Story view resembles the text-only look that you see in Galley or Story view within InCopy. You might want to export the Galley or Story view of an InCopy story to PDF for writers, editors, and others in a documentreview cycle who may not have InCopy on their computers. The PDF document has the same advantages that an InCopy Galley and Story view offers, including maximum text readability and annotation features.

Last updated 5/15/2011 258 Chapter 11: XML Working with XML Adobe InDesign CS5 is one of many applications that can produce and use XML. After you tag content in an InDesign file, you save and export the file as XML so that it can be repurposed in another InDesign file or another application. Similarly, you can import an XML file into InDesign and instruct InDesign to display and format the XML data any way you want. About XML XML (Extensible Markup Language) is a way to repurpose data in a file or automate the process of replacing the data in one file with data from another file. XML employs tags to describe parts of a file—a heading or a story, for example. These tags mark data so it can be stored in an XML file and handled appropriately when it is exported to other files. Think of XML as a translation mechanism for data. XML tags label text and other content in a file so that applications can recognize and present the data. Gabriel Powell provides a video tutorial about using XML in InDesign at Creating a Basic XML-ready Template. Extensible language XML is considered an extensible language because individuals create their own XML tags—they can create one tag for each type of information that they want to repurpose. XML tags don’t carry information about how data is supposed to be displayed or formatted. XML tags are strictly for identifying content. In InCopy , for example, you can create a Heading1 tag and assign it to each first-level heading in a document. After you save the document as an XML file, the Heading1 content can be imported and put to use—by any application that can read XML—as a web page, printed catalog, directory, price list, or database table. Adobe InCopy is one of many applications that can produce and use XML. After you tag content in an InCopy file, you save and export the file as XML so that it can be repurposed in another InCopy file, InDesign file, or another application. In InCopy , you can create XML tags and tag parts of a document even if you’re not experienced with XML. InCopy handles XML programming behind the scenes and creates the XML for you when you export a document in XML format. Important: Do not confuse XML tags with InCopy tagged text. For more information about tagged text, which is a different method of exporting and importing InCopy content, view the Tagged Text PDF at www.adobe.com/go/learn_id_taggedtext_cs5_en (PDF). XML data structure The element is the building block of XML data; an element is data that has been tagged. In XML files, elements are nested within other elements to create a hierarchical structure for the data. You can see the structure of XML data in the Structure pane, which displays the hierarchy and sequence of elements. In the XML structure, child elements are contained by parent elements, which in turn may also be child elements. Or, seen from the other direction, parent elements contain child elements, and these child elements may in turn be parent elements to other child elements. Last updated 5/15/2011 259 USING INCOPY XML For example, in the following image, you can see a chapter element that contains (is the parent of) a recipe element. The recipe element, in turn, is the parent of elements called recipename and ingredients. All elements are contained inside the Story element, which always appears at the top of the Structure pane. InCopy document formatted with XML tags For more information on using XML in InDesign, visit www.adobe.com/go/learn_id_XMLscript. XML tools InCopy provides the Structure pane and the Tags panel for working with XML content. The Structure pane displays all the elements in the document and their hierarchical structure. To help you identify each element, InCopy displays its element tag and an icon that indicates what type of content it holds. In addition, the Structure pane can display the first few words of text in an element, called a text snippet, which is not to be confused with snippet files that store objects for reuse. A B D C Structure pane (left) and Tags panel (right) A. Triangle to expand or collapse elements B. Element placed in layout C. Text snippet D. Element tag The Structure pane lets you view, edit, and manage XML elements. You use the Structure pane in many ways when working with XML. For example, to place imported XML content into the layout, you can drag elements from the Structure pane directly to a page. You also use the Structure pane to adjust the hierarchy of the elements. You can add elements, attributes, comments, and processing instructions by way of the Structure pane. Last updated 5/15/2011 260 USING INCOPY XML The Tags panel lists tags for elements. You can import, export, add, delete, and rename tags. You use the Tags panel to apply element tags to content that you plan to export to XML. About DTD files To share XML data with others, you need to agree on a standard set of tag names and element attributes so that everyone in your group uses and applies tags the same way. One method for handling the sharing of XML data is to use a document type definition (DTD) file. A DTD file provides a set of elements and attributes for members of the group to use. It also defines the rules about where elements can appear in the structural hierarchy. For example, the DTD file may require the Title element to be a child of the Story element because the title is supposed to appear inside the story; if you tag a title without tagging the story it appears in, the DTD file marks the Title element as invalid. You can search for and flag invalid structural errors in an InDesign file with a DTD file. This process is called validating. Although you cannot import a DTD file into InCopy, DTD files you import in InDesign are available when you edit the story in InCopy. You can view the DTD file in InCopy and validate stories against it to ensure that tags have been applied correctly. DTD file opened for viewing in InCopy You may find that a DTD file created by a group or industry similar to yours includes tags and structures that meet your needs. For a current list of registered DTDs, visit www.xml.com/pub/rg/DTD_Repositories (English only). XML rule sets XML rule sets are sets of instructions written in a scripting language (such as JavaScript or AppleScript) that evaluate XML data and take certain actions if that data meets certain conditions. Each rule consists of at least one condition and at least one action. A rule evaluates the XML data against the conditions, and if a condition is met, then it takes the appropriate action. For example, an XML rule can specify that whenever the Paragraph element appears under the Subhead element (a condition), a specific style (an action) is applied; or that whenever the Product element (a condition) appears, a new frame is created and a product image is imported (actions). XML rules are a means of dynamically creating and formatting layouts based on XML. For information on XML rule sets and other XML scripting resources, see www.adobe.com/go/learn_id_XMLscript. 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. Last updated 5/15/2011 261 USING INCOPY XML 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. Using XML files Open an XML file in InCopy You can open any existing XML file in InCopy for editing and tagging. 1 Choose File > Open. 2 Locate and select the XML file you want to use. 3 Click Open.

Tagging content for XML Create and load XML tags Before you tag page items, create (or load) tags to identify each content type or item in your document. You can create tags from scratch or load them from another source, such as an InDesign document, InCopy document, or DTD file. Use any of the following methods to create or load XML tags for your document: • Create a tag with the New Tag command. • Load tags from an XML file or another document. • Import a DTD file. Last updated 5/15/2011 262 USING INCOPY XML The Tags panel with a list of available tags More Help topics “About XML” on page 258 Create an XML tag 1 Choose Window > Utilities > Tags to open the Tags panel. 2 Do one of the following: • Choose New Tag from the Tags panel menu. • Click the New Tag button on the Tags panel. 3 Type a name for the tag. The name must conform to XML standards. If you include a space or an illegal character in the tag name, an alert message appears. 4 Select a color for the tag if you created your tag from the Tags panel menu. (If you created your tag with the New Tag button, you can choose a color by changing the color of the tag.) Note: You can assign the same color to different tags. The color you select appears when you apply the tag to a frame and choose View > Structure > Show Tagged Frames, or when you apply the tag to text within a frame and choose View > Structure > Show Tag Markers. (Tag colors do not appear in exported XML files.) 5 Click OK. Load XML tags from another source You can load tags from an XML file, an InDesign document, or an InCopy document. Note: InCopy automatically adds tags to the Tags panel when you load an XML file. 1 Choose Load Tags from the Tags panel menu. 2 Select the file containing the tags you want to load into the Tags panel, and then click Open. Change tag name or color 1 Double-click a tag name in the Tags panel or choose Tag Options in the Tags panel menu. 2 Change the name or the color of the tag, and click OK. Note: You cannot change the name of locked tags. InCopy automatically locks tags specified in a loaded DTD file. To change the name of these tags, you must edit the DTD file and reload it into the document. Last updated 5/15/2011 263 USING INCOPY XML Tagging items Before you export content to an XML file, you must tag the text and other items (such as frames and tables) that you want to export. You also need to tag items that you have created as placeholders for imported XML content. Items that have been tagged appear as elements in the Structure pane. A B XML elements and tags A. Elements appear in the Structure pane. B. Tag markers surround text to which tags have been applied. When tagging page items, note the following: • Text frames must be tagged before you can tag the text inside them. • You can apply only one tag to a frame. • Threaded text frames share a single tag, which applies to all text in the thread, including overset text. • When you tag text within a tagged element (for example, when you tag a paragraph within a tagged story), the text appears as a child element of an existing element in the Structure pane. • When you tag an element within a frame with the Autotag button, InCopy automatically tags the frame using the tag specified in the Tagging Preset Options dialog box. Tag text within a text frame 1 Choose View > Layout View. 2 Make sure that the text frame in which the text appears is tagged. (If the frame isn’t tagged when you try to tag text within the frame, InCopy tags the story using default tags.) 3 Do one of the following: • Using the Type tool , select text within a text frame, and then click a tag in the Tags panel. If you select all of the text within the frame, the tag is applied to the frame, not to the block of text (unless you’ve selected Add Tag in the Tags panel). • Select the text frame, table, table cells, or image that you want to tag, and click the Autotag icon in the Tags panel to apply a default tag. (See “Specify Autotag defaults” on page 265.) • Automatically tag text to which paragraph or character styles have been applied using the Map Styles To Tags command. Tag text in tables When you tag a table for export to XML, you create a table element as well as one cell element for each cell in the table. The cell elements are child elements of the table element and are created automatically. 1 Choose View > Layout View. Last updated 5/15/2011 264 USING INCOPY XML 2 Click in the table and choose Table > Select > Table. 3 Select a tag for the table in the Tags panel. InCopy creates a cell element for each cell in the table (you can display them in the Structure pane). The tag applied to table cell elements depends on your tagging present options. 4 If needed, tag table cells with a different tag. For example, you can tag the first-row cells with a different tag to identify them as heading cells. To apply tags to cells, select the actual table cells in your document, and then select a tag. (Selecting cells in the table also selects the corresponding cell elements in the Structure pane.) You can also tag a table by selecting it and then clicking the Autotag icon in the Tags panel. The Table tag (or another tag of your choice) is applied immediately to the table, according to your Autotag default settings. Tag content according to styles Paragraph, character, table, and cells styles you assign to text can be used as a means of tagging text for XML. For example, a paragraph style called Body can be associated with a tag called StoryText. Then, using the Map Styles To Tags command, you can apply the StoryText tag to all paragraphs in your document that are assigned the Body paragraph style. You can map more than one style to the same tag. Important: The Map Styles To Tags command tags content automatically, including paragraphs and characters that have been tagged already. To retain existing tags, apply tags manually. 1 Choose Map Styles To Tags from the Tags panel menu or Structure pane menu. 2 For each style in your document, specify the tag that you want it to be mapped to. Map Styles To Tags dialog box 3 To match style names to tag names, click Map By Name. Styles that are named identically to tag names are selected in the dialog box. Map By Name is case-sensitive; Head1 and head1, for example, are treated as different tags. 4 To use style mappings set up in an InDesign file, click Load and select the file. 5 Select or deselect Include options: Master Pages Stories Maps styles found on the master page to tags. Pasteboard Stories Maps styles found on stories on the pasteboard to tags. (Deselect this option to keep stories on the pasteboard from being tagged.) Last updated 5/15/2011 265 USING INCOPY XML Empty Stories Maps styles located in empty stories to tags. (Deselect this option to keep styles on empty stories from being tagged.) 6 Click OK. The new XML tags are applied throughout your document to paragraph, character, table, and cell styles that you specified in the Map Styles To Tags dialog box. Untag a page item Untag an item to remove its tag but retain the associated content. 1 Select the element in the Structure pane window, or select the page item in the document layout. 2 Do one of the following: • Click Untag Element in the Structure pane menu. • Click the Untag button in the Tags panel. Retag a page item Retag an item to replace the existing tag (you don’t need to untag it first). 1 Select the Type tool . 2 Do one of the following: • Select the text or text frame, and then click a different tag in the Tags panel. • Place the insertion point in a tagged text frame within a story element (not a child element). Select Retag at the top of the Tags panel, and click a different tag in the Tags panel. • Select the entire block of text to which a tag has been applied, select Retag at the top of the Tags panel, and click a different tag. (If you select Add Tag at the top of the Tags panel, and then click a different tag, a new child element will appear in the Structure pane.) Specify Autotag defaults When you select a text frame, table, table cells, or an image, and then click the Autotag icon in the Tags panel, InCopy applies a default tag to the item you selected. You can specify these default tags in the Tagging Preset Options dialog box. Note: InCopy applies a default tag when you create an element that requires a parent element, but doesn’t yet have one. For example, if you tag text within a text frame but the frame itself isn’t tagged, InCopy assigns the frame a tag according to the Tagging Preset Options. The capability to apply default tags helps InCopy maintain correct XML structure. 1 Choose Tagging Preset Options from the Tags panel menu. 2 Choose a default tag for text frames, tables, table cells, and images. If the tag you need isn’t listed, you can choose New Tag from the menu and create a tag. Map XML tags to styles XML tags are merely data descriptions; they carry no formatting instructions. As such, you need to format XML content after you import it and lay it out. One way to do that is to map XML tags to paragraph, character, table, or cell styles. For example, the Byline tag could be mapped to the Author character style, so that all imported and placed XML content that is tagged Byline is automatically assigned the Author character style. Mapping tags to styles makes formatting imported XML content easier and less time-consuming. Last updated 5/15/2011 266 USING INCOPY XML You don’t need to map every tag to a paragraph or character style. Some elements may not appear in the layout and others may be easier to format one at a time. Moreover, child elements take on the paragraph or character style that is assigned to their parent, which can cause confusion unless you are careful to map parent and child elements separately. Important: The Map Tags To Styles command reapplies styles throughout a document, sometimes with unwanted results. When you map a tag to a style, text that was previously assigned to one style may be reassigned to another, depending on its XML tag. If you’ve already formatted some text, you might prefer to apply styles manually to prevent your paragraph and character style choices from being overridden. 1 Choose Map Tags To Styles from the Tags panel menu or the Structure pane menu. A menu of styles appears for each tag in the Map Tags To Styles dialog box 2 Do any of the following: • To import styles, tags, and mapping definitions from another document, click Load, choose a document, and click Open. • To map tags to styles individually, click the Style column adjacent to a tag, and choose a paragraph or character style from the menu that appears. (The paragraph symbol identifies paragraph styles in the menu; an “A” identifies character styles.) Repeat for each tag you want to map. • To automatically map tags to styles with the same names, click Map By Name. Styles with names that are identical to tag names are selected in the Style column. To match, a tag and style must not only have the same name, but the same case; H1 and h1, for example, are not considered a match. (If the same style name exists in two different style groups, Map By Name doesn’t work and you are alerted to rename one of the styles.) 3 Click OK.

DOCTYPE element Tells InDesign which DTD file to use when validating the XML file. Rearrange structured elements You can change the order and hierarchical rank of elements in the Structure pane. However, observe these rules: • Changes to the XML hierarchy structure may affect the appearance of tagged items on InCopy pages. For example, making a text element the child of an element elsewhere in the structure also moves the text in the layout. • You cannot drag a table cell element into a table element or move elements into a table element. ❖ In the Structure pane, do one of the following: • To move an element, drag it to a new location within the structure. A line appears when you drag to indicate where you are inserting the element. The width of the line marks the level within the hierarchy. • To make an element a child of another element, either position it over the parent element to highlight it or place it amongst the parent’s other child elements, and then release the mouse button. • To demote an element by one level in the hierarchy, drag it just above another parent element and move it to the left slightly until the line indicating its placement spans the width of the parent element. • To copy or cut an element, select the element or elements in the Structure pane, and then choose Edit > Copy or Edit > Cut. Select the element directly above where you want to insert the element, and choose Edit > Paste.

Work with attributes An attribute provides additional information about an XML element. Each attribute consists of a name and a value. Attributes appear in the Structure pane; they are not placed in the document or used as content in the document. Include attributes with elements for the benefit of files and applications that will use the XML files you create in InCopy . You can add attributes to any element except the DOCTYPE element (a DTD file), comments, and processing instructions. For example, to include keywords for searching in a downstream application, you can create an attribute called keywords. You could also create attributes to indicate substituted text, track article titles, and record other content-related information. If you are using a DTD file, view its contents to see which attributes it allows. Attribute names, like tag names, must conform to the DTD.

Relative paths are specific to the path where the document is saved. • An href attribute with an absolute link looks like the following (in Windows and the Mac OS): href=file:///C:/Images/Meadow.psd href=file:///Users/abhayc//Desktop/abc.jpg • An href attribute to an image file in the same folder as the XML file looks like the following: href=file:Meadow.psd • An href attribute to an image file in the Images subfolder looks like the following: href=file:///Images/Meadow.psd You can edit the href attribute to specify a new link to an image. For example, you can edit an absolute link to make it a relative link, thereby making the image file accessible when you export the file. 1 In the Structure pane, double-click the href attribute. (You may need to click the triangle icon next to the image element to display the attribute.) 2 For Value, enter the new path to the image, and then click OK. Last updated 5/15/2011 272 USING INCOPY XML Add comments and processing instructions Using InCopy , you can include comments and processing instructions in an XML file. Enter a comment to include descriptive information about an element. Comments can be viewed in web browsers and text editors. They help others understand XML structure and XML tags. A processing instruction is a special, application-specific command. For example, you can enter a page-break processing instruction so that an application to which you export your XML file understands where to enter a page break. InCopy user-created processing instructions are meant for use in other programs; InCopy itself does not act on processing instructions. Comments and processing instructions appear in the Structure pane. You can move, edit, and delete comments and processing instructions as you can other elements in the Structure pane. They cannot, however, contain child elements or attributes. A B InDesign Structure pane with text snippets showing A. Processing instruction B.

Use DTD files to validate XML Validating the XML in a document means to compare the structure, element tag names, and attributes against the specifications of a DTD file. To validate against a DTD file, you must first load it into your document in InDesign. Note: Loading a DTD file imports tag names into the Tags panel. These imported tag names are locked; they can’t be deleted or renamed except by deleting the DTD file from the document. The DOCTYPE element appears at the top of the Structure pane if a DTD file has been loaded into your document. (DTDs are sometimes loaded automatically when you import an XML file.) To replace the DTD file in a document, delete the existing DTD and then load a new one. A B Working with DTD files in InDesign A. DOCTYPE element from the DTD file (Structure pane) B. Locked tag from the DTD file (Tags panel) View a DTD file DTDs are written in ASCII text. They may contain embedded instructions and explanations that describe how to apply tags and order elements correctly. In InDesign, you can only view a DTD that is loaded in a document.

To print a DTD file, copy code from the View DTD window and paste it in a text editor. Validate XML structure When you validate your document, InCopy alerts you if the XML deviates from rules established by the DTD file. It suggests ways to make the XML meet DTD file requirements.

Last updated 5/15/2011 275 USING INCOPY XML 3 To fix errors displayed in the Suggestion pane, either click a suggested fix to try it, or edit the XML structure and tags directly using the Structure pane and the Tags panel. 4 To view other errors, do one of the following: • Click the Left arrow or Right arrow . • Click the Error Window button to view all errors in a separate window. • Choose View List Of Errors on the Structure pane menu. Note: InCopy stops validating after detecting 250 errors. A plus sign in the Error Count box appears when this limit is reached. Exporting to XML Export an InCopy file to XML Before you can convert InCopy stories to XML data, you must have done the following: • Created or loaded element tags. • Applied tags to items in stories. • Rearranged elements in the Structure pane, if needed. You can export all or a portion of the XML content in your document. Only content that is tagged can be exported. 1 If you intend to export only a portion of the document, select the element in the Structure pane where you want exporting to begin. 2 Choose File > Export. 3 Choose XML for Save As Type (Windows) or Format (Mac OS). 4 Type the name and specify the location of the XML file, and then click Save. 5 In the Export XML dialog box, select the desired encoding scheme: UTF-8 or UTF-16. 6 Click Export to export the XML file.
