In two days, learn Adobe InCopy and its workflow with InDesign: assignments, check-in and check-out, galley, story and layout views, styles, copyfitting, tracked changes and PDF export.
Adobe InCopy is the writing and editing application designed to work with InDesign. Writers and editors work on the text while designers work on the layout, in the same document and at the same time, without overwriting each other’s work. In two days, you learn how InCopy and InDesign interact, how to prepare and share assignments, and how to write, edit, format and fit text to the layout.
The course covers the whole editorial workflow: views, text entry, paragraph and character styles, spell check, copyfitting, notes and tracked changes, then printing and PDF export. In a private group, the exercises can be based on your own publications.
