InCopy is primarily used by newspapers and magazines to edit and style copy. The sofware contains such features as Spell Check and allows users to change and edit words or paragraphs. Another key feature is the abilty to apply Style Sheet s to paragraphs or words. In addition, another key feature is how the software automatically measures the length of a story in Column Inch es. The InCopy interface features three viewing modes: Story, galley and layout. The story mode displays the text of the story without formatting the entire width of the screen. This provides an interface for users more comforatable with traditional word processors to read and edit copy. The galley mode also displays the text without formatting, but does list any style sheets that have been applied to the copy. The galley mode shows copy as one column wide so the user has a better of idea of what the story will look like on the page. However, the galley mode still lacks a true representation of the design and layout - these features are reserved for the layout mode. This view shows all text formatting and also includes any Headlines that have been attached to the story. Unlike consumer word processing products, InCopy isn't designed for printing on traditional desktop printers. Instead, InCopy is linked to Adobe's own Desktop Publishing program InDesign which allows the user to design, layout and print the copy as part of a finished product. The main benefit of using InCopy instead of writing directly into InDesign is that it allows users to work on the same page simulteaneously: while the InDesign user can design the page, one or more InCopy users can modify different stories on the same page. In many cases, publishers will use a Publishing System that adds workflow and rights management to the design and editing capabilities of Adobe's software. EXTERNAL LINKS
